More personal caring.. and more concern about work life balance for all.

Review from Operations Dept
Top down needs to prioritize employees and quality, instead of profits and stock holders
Actually care about their people. It's obvious they don't by all the decisions they make. Even the corona virus response is more about profit than it is about keeping their people safe.
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
less questions & more info on the company
they should probably stop making people run around and track whoes fastest.
It was they didn't know how. Rubber stamp questions form the internet and multi people some not even in the same dept interviewing, complete with conflict of interests.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Keep restructuring the company and doing layoffs
Make sure to pay people fairly.
Behind times and making the wrong tool changes
Issues can't be resolved through the location HR and you can't get hold of corporate. as they transfer you to a non working number.
