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

They take care of their people

What makes you most happy at work?

The salary, benefits, the good environment in my team

What did you like most about the interview process?

I felt I could be myself and speak my mind freely.

What are some of the best things about your team?

In my department, we have a friendly relationship and help each other. We work as a team and decide together. That said, I know that in other teams, things are not nearly as good.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

For where I live, I am well paid and the benefits are fair. Too bad the taxes are so high and I don't actually get my money, but of course that is not the company's fault.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

They need to be fair when it comes to opportunities. I have witnessed a few times, roles being given to "friends" without even typically doing a process between applicants. The HR does absolutely nothing about all this. On the contrary, I think they take advantage of the situation for themselves.
