Review from Admin Dept
You can find help where you need it
Review from Operations Dept
The culture and environment of the company are that people do care about their job and about their lives. Even when people complain about a boss or a challenging task, they will be able to pivot and convert some of that energy to efforts toward fighting to make the situation better.
Review from Operations Dept
LOL nothing the blatant favoritism and lake of supervision is a joke
Review from Operations Dept
I like how we try to have biweekly quick tag ups where we take 15 mins to play a game or do something to get to know each other.
Review from Finance Dept
the wins create a positive culture
Review from HR Dept
Team effort to accomplish the mission. Work hard when we need to an enjoy down time when we can
Review from Operations Dept
The people are all genuinely good and care. The leadership is very vested in making sure we have a positive culture.
There is a culture of respect. I also think that the environment I have been in is really full of visionaries with amazing ideas about how to make this place the best it can be and actually implementing those ideas.
Review from HR Dept
it feels like everyone is working towards the same goal

Review from HR Dept

Review from Finance Dept
The fact that everyone is different but willing to come together to accomplish the same thing as a team
Review from HR Dept
What we work on & who it supports.
Review from Operations Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Start with leadership, instill value and appreciation by achievements and inhouse perks. More training.
Review from Operations Dept
Using personality tests to assist with staffing teams could go a long way in increasing team morale.
Review from Engineering Dept
TOO NEW TO THE COMPANY TO EVEN ANSWER
Review from Product Dept
Culture is not the problem, incompetence of our product/process (or lack thereof) at the Director level and thru the CEO is. It is like saying Enron had a culture problem. . . . no, the core business model was flawed, and no amount of 'culture' could save it.
Review from Engineering Dept
More alignment with COVID strategies from the top down to the employee level. More acknowledgement of hardships faced over the last 2 years and especially for those we have lost from COVID. Better recreation activities sponsored by the company like picnics
Review from Customer Support Dept
Coworkers need to be more positive and work together more. The negativity needs to stop in order for the culture to be better.
Review from Operations Dept
more cooperation among departments and people understanding that certain projects or ideas will take time to mature and manifest before they can be properly analyzed for their cost/benefit analysis. too many things are written off if they don't work immediately
Review from Operations Dept
They need to make sure that the correct people are in the correct positions to advance not only the company but the team and individuals as well.
Review from Finance Dept
Refocus from attributing blame to finding solutions. Change from continually rewarding the Chosen Few to rewarding those actually making a difference. Change from a siloed organization to a more inclusive, diverse, team based one. Less "us and them" and more "we"
Review from Product Dept
Improved communication and better decision making would improve culture.
Review from Operations Dept
Encourage people to actually have conversations that aren't about work all the time. Maybe pay for some pizza for the team every now and then...make us laugh and make us feel like we are valuable. I have never felt so replaceable in my life. I can't be myself because I'm afraid of being judged.
Review from Operations Dept
management needs to hold people accountable and make them do work. I don't think my manager has an idea of what his employees do and how long they actually spend doing it
Review from Customer Support Dept
Increase the interaction between coworkers beyond daily tasks
Review from Engineering Dept
Work from home policy. The company responded to covid very poorly and I'm not surprised employees left
Review from Engineering Dept
Involve employees more in large decisions. We say we do, but we don't. Example: all decision making around covid was done in a total vacuum.
Review from Engineering Dept
true investment/care towards inclusion and culture among employees. we do things just to say we did them or we tried
Review from HR Dept
Mangers have the final say. they should still be more open to various points of view. Co policy states the openness, in practice not very much.
Review from Operations Dept
Certain organizations are too lean, putting pressure on employee morale. There is no time to learn and be curious. New hires are dumped on. a Work From Home option would also be nice.
Review from Finance Dept
Management needs to re-evaluate its resistance to allowing hybrid work. Many departments have already proved that it works for them, and ELT's resistance has made me worried about our company's ability to attract future talent with this outdated philosophy.
Review from Finance Dept
Leadership that interacts with the team more often than at quarterly all-hands and at gate reviews/MPSRs.
