    I would feel better with about a 10% raise. I often work very long hours

    If the compensation was competitive. There are other companies paying 10k plus more for the same job.
  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    Diversity. They announced a new DE&I hire but just like most large corporations since George Floyd, it's just for show. They also need to be more transparent and care about their employee's work life balance.
