What are some of the best things about your team?

My direct team is enthusiastic, flexible and interested.

What do you like best about your company?

Currently, the colleagues who are actually doing work.

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

The entire HR team and the nepotistic culture.

What makes you most happy at work?

Working with some very smart, creative, talented and committed colleagues.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

The bonus percentage is the best part of compensation. Our time off is not competitive.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Not sure all the right people are in place at my function's leadership team level; the corporate executive team is - I think - well chosen and qualified.

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

My direct manager is very supportive and really cares about their people. I enjoy working with many very intelligent, accomplished experts across functions. DE&I still has a ways to go - cis/white/male is still often the default 'model' in many cases.
