The current executive team destroyed the culture of this company.

Less hierarchy and more focus on managing and bring your team successes up. Very beauraucratic
Focusing on work not social justice
They need to honest and stop promoting vaporware .
Review from IT Dept
They need to actually underatand the business.
It's astonishing how they've had over ten years to fix the problem within the NC but haven't. Any advice I give is gonna fall on deaf ears, so I won't bother

Benefits. Pay is below average. Bonus is below average.
Defined Benefit plan, plus matching on 401k and Roth.
My Time and Retirement Plan contribution
Annual Variable comp percentage is fair

Opportunity for promotion or at least lateral movement.
Fair compensation for everyone. Executive team is compensated heavily at the cost of employees and participants.
Review from IT Dept
Benefits don't vest at all until the end of your third year, at which it'll vest 100%. Base pay is low, raises are not competitive
Current scorecard metrics do not properly align to company’s strategic visio
