I am the single most tenured engineer at the company. I was proud to be one of the first engineers, one of the people that helped make this company successful, profitable and I hoped to be here when we go public, but that is looking unlikely based on the way I am compensated and treated.
What are some of the best things about your team?
My manager is very easy to talk to.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Burnout, lack of recognition, being underpaid. Fix those things, immediately or you will lose your most tenured and most valuable employees.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Immediately stop letting marketing have any control over engineering. They are making absurd demands and causing major disruptions. Don't staff brand new teams with junior engineers to work on the most important feature releases. Own the fact that the reorg is basically indecipherable.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Paying people based on their location and not based on their impact, tenure, or their work is morally bankrupt. I am making less than people who were hired later and have inarguably less impact. Leadership and HR have been stringing me along for years, getting my work at a huge discount.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I have not been promoted in many, many years and rarely receive any form of recognition for my work. I am burn out and am having a mental breakdown that no amount of free mental health resources from the company will help alleviate - the company is causing the anxiety in the first place.
