What is the best part about your compensation package?
Their emphasis is on equality and diversity among all cultures and people.
I havent recieved any of that
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Education Reimbursement and ability to add parents to health insurance.
Interview process led me to believe that I wasn't at level technically to begin my role, but the onboarding process has clearly shown otherwise. Due to this, I accepted a compensation level that was below what I should've been targeted at. I'd like to be fairly compensated.
What are some of the best things about your team?
I believe the best things about our team are their drive, willingness, and compassion for others. They truly take your time and effort into consideration. :)
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
A lot of meetings would be better as emails.
Communication and collaboration are fine, but it seems at a lot of groups outside of our org are very unfamiliar with times related to their role or have general "pass the buck" attitude, and the feedback loop for this is very broken.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
I believe what is most positive about the culture of WhatsApp is the emphasis on equality and diversity among ALL people and countries.
The company is very diverse and inclusive.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Company seems to move at an extremely slow rate, more agile practices would be very beneficial. Also the company is very siloed location wise and would benefit from more people in their primary/emerging markets to give feedback.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Their sense of understanding for ALL people and their understanding of people under all circumstances.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Ask questions relevant to the role so that you're not yielding massive false positives.
Not have a super tech interview at the end since it's rather irrelevant for the role and instead have a better peer interview that actually accesses on the job skills.
What makes you most happy at work?
What makes me, Portia Lising, happy at work is the team's willingness to communicate and involve all team members in open communication.
Lunch time, snacks, & swag
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Very command and conquer style managing instead of supported and encouraging. This will likely stifle growth and innovation in the long run and lead to high turnover.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
The feedback loop is busted.
