What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Critical staffing shortages make the onboarding process and workload unsustainable, in turn creating and perpetuating staff burnout. When department metrics are discussed, they are only in the terms of faculty. This leaves out a large portion of the labor force that is also at risk of burnout.

Transparency, diversity, inclusion and belonging

Leadership does not invest in the well-being and ling-term employment prospects of the employee. HR is a nightmare and extremely insensitive and unsupportive. There is no respect for diversity, inclusion, and equity. There's a lot of talk about DEI but no one walks the talk.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

PhD with experience should NOT be underpaid. Morally wrong.

Compared to market compensation, especially in the IT/software engineering field. While base pay is probably 5-10% under market, not having any equity or bonuses makes it a significant difference

I do not believe that the salary adequately reflects the hours and responsibility of the position.

With qualification and experience I should not be an Associate II n earn at that level for a Bay area resident.

I know I was underpaid for the market value because I got two other offers around the same time I accepted Stanford offer. It would definitely make me feel better if my compensation could be adjusted to reflect the market value.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

showing support and spreading positivity

maybe more interactive and compasionate

A more team oriented environment where everyone does there fair share

They could include me in more things. I am a new employee and feel left out by most of the people in the office

I value a fast/competitive working environment, and my work is one of the most important pieces of my life. I don't feel that this mentality is shared by most.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

I'd like to tangibly experience our proximity to Silicon Valley and the STEM leadership/legacy in our region. I look forward to seeing continued investment in digital transformation, and recruiting/hiring for diversity of perspective and professional experience.

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

Outlook Reviews

There is not much to look forward too. I do not interact with my coworkers much. I feel left out of a lot of things and am not given much to do so I sit for most of the day

Better engagement from my manager and senior leaders in caring about their people. Being more transparent and equitable in decision making instead of creating a funnel at the top

There is no respect for diversity or any attempt to retain talent who come from diverse backgrounds
