Review from Customer Support Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Our code base is older and large. It takes some history with it to to be successful. I haven't yet been able to just sit down and crunch through solid tasks. Everything takes a lot of figuring out and discussion and it isn't very satisfying to work in.

Review from Engineering Dept

While we are working towards maturing the company, I'd like us to also look into the case studies from many other companies showing working long hours and working hard for long periods of time hurt productivity. I would like us to try 4-day work weeks as there are numerous studies showing it works

Review from Engineering Dept

The community regularly gives feedback that we don't listen or care about their needs and launch things they don't want. We need to get better at this faster than we are. Things are changing too slowly and we're losing their engagement and trust.

We're losing our biggest asset: people. With so many folks leaving, and the workload being rebalanced on the remaining people, it always feels like we're in survival mode, and because those people are no more, the work environment gets a lot less exciting.

Review from Engineering Dept

It's consistent stress. Team is resource constrained.

Review from Customer Success Dept

I feel overworked and like there is a lack of career growth opportunities

Review from Product Dept

I'm in Sales. Lead engine is slow, which contributes to other factors. But the proper adjustments seem to be coming, and hopefully, this will improve over time.
