HR or Marketing? Claim Your Free Employer Account
Great experience with the team but management is too bureaucratic, slow, prefers meetings over actions. Managers and staff do all the work, directors and above only care about themselves.
What makes you most happy at work?
Interacting with my team are great.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
it's pretty laid back
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The open office concept is debilitating to getting actual work done, meetings are constant, long and ineffective.
What are some of the best things about your team?
They seem to love what they do, most of them believe what the company stands for (even if the CEO and exec team don't)
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Too many interviews, focus questions better, have a group session when discussing candidates instead of filling out long forms that only HR cares about.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Planning, they don't seem to understand what the company should be: is it workforce? staffing? freelancing? Does it compete with small players or big players?
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The CEO compensation is totally out-of-whack with what everyone else gets (7 million shares!), while rank-and-file that actually do the work will never get a chance to make anything. The executive team makes too much in comparison, freelancers are underpaid.
