More demanding than expected due to needing to step up due to the lack of expertise/motivation/output around me.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

Accomplishing a severely disproportionate amount of the team work and other team responsibilities, not seeing reflection on that most of the time.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

Overall it has been great. Good culture, good work flexibility, and clear goals and guidance.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

My pay is competitive (not overly competitive).

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Adequate pay and fully remote work

What do you like best about the leadership team?

They are amable and helpful when something is brought to their attention.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

My manager is directly involved in solving my specific hardships and keeping me retained.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

They are always receptive of feedback and aim to solve problems brought to them.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

There are motivated key players that are willing to help when reached out to.

What are some of the best things about your team?

There are no bad personality apples. They're all upbeat and roll with the punches, if not perfect otherwise.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

There are key players across the team and in leadership that are always willing to engage and help.

What makes you most happy at work?

Being able to directly approach code on a near daily basis and not being drowned in bureaucratic responsibilities.

What are some of the best things about your team?

The current team, overall, is very engaged and responsive. They give a strong impression of wanting the team to succeed.

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

The pay is not necessarily under (or significantly under) market value. However, it is clear that there are some people that excel and deliver value to the program on scales of 10-20x as much as others and are paid 2-3x as much.

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

Certain areas of the code (FE) lack expertise and motivated key players. Expected velocity is growing faster than natural expertise/familiarity growth on some teams. The difference in output between key players and other team members is often dramatic (10 to 1).

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

There is a severe skill/knowledge disparity that leads to no significant team participation in planning. Also, the project planning that is upstream of development is slower than the development and this leads to grasping for the next work items OR working on incomplete info.

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

A few coworkers get away with doing effectively nothing. Others have a severe lack of quality/reliability in their work that is far below their experience level. They also often forget what the team is doing outside their work. Accountability, self-reflection, and awareness respectively.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

It's good that the requirements definition and planning feels like it is done entirely at the team level. However, that also makes it seem like every PO is an island and if they're not doing a good job integrating the whole program may be chaos when seen together.
