What does the leadership team need to get better at?
1) Not voting to terminate employees with 30 years of tenure during chemotherapy; 2) Stop promoting AI without extra training about its dangers, and drawbacks.
Ensuring that project level employees have enough hours to remain full time since we can not work outside of the company
Consolidate and pay us more money
Clueless on workload, low skilled, young and inexperienced
Review from Engineering Dept
Leadership is out of touch with what's wrong around here. I'm tired of seeing all these initiatives that go nowhere. It's annoying having to track my work in 3-4 trackers because new leadership has new ideas to help us track work. Our tech to do our jobs is cheap because of cost causing more issues.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Flexibility on work hours, location.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
More in line with industry standards
Review from Marketing Dept · Posted 19 hours ago
I don't believe I'm paid competitively and I dislike that 401k is not matches because I don't see the benefits of the ESOP very much and it doesn't grow quickly.
Review from Marketing Dept
I believe corporate overstandardization of roles and pay scales hurt smaller offices where employees must complete the job description of multiple people
During a lateral position move I was informed that I'd been at the bottom of the wage range for my original title, and my own supervisor revealed that when moving to the new title in a different department, that director and VP wanted to offer me MORE but supervisor refused. Result? Feel undervalued
Comparable rates to other companies for the same positions.
What are some of the best things about your team?

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
I'd like to see more of our employees care about the quality of their work.
Participate more, show up to meetings, share knowledge, improve communication skills, mentor each other, be honest about work load.
They need to be more responsive.
Better communication and more teamwork consideration. Some tasks are left for me to do when it could have been done while my coworker was in office and I was remote.
Review from Admin Dept
I have noticed a trend toward employees at the field level matter the position not respecting other peoples opinions or approaches

The people care about their work, and are looking to grow. The company has a strong moral compass.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
stress! too much stress! We have demanding roles and i don't feel we get enough decompression time or support in managing our stress. I would like to see a companywide stress management plan and program.
There is not enough time allowed for training. The speed at which work must be done is currently unattainable for me at my current level.
The workload is overwhelming and at times unmanageable.
Review from HR Dept
Its largely making sure full time employees have at least 40 hours and do not have to use pto to cover their hours to ensure 40.
Pay us more money please
