Boring work, meetings that should be emails, and tons of red tape.

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

The company is very diverse and inclusive.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

That's it's comprised largely of women.

Lunch time, snacks, & swag

What do you like best about your company?

It's very diverse and inclusive.

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

The feedback loop is busted.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

A lot of meetings would be better as emails.

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.

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.

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 improve about your company's interview process?

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 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 do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

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.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

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.
