Constructive Feedback From Talkdesk Employees

  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    Should not determine one's value only by one interview, because the interview is filled with subjectivity from both interviewer and interviewee or even cheating in an interview, the evaluation must adjust in time by the performance on recent work, or else it may be not benefited for the longtime.
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    The market rate for the responsibilities asked of me is significantly higher. Salary and Variable compensation.
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    Compensation is not equal with the market value. In addition, there were compensation enhancements communicated but never were delivered on
