Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Commitment to the company and caring for employees
they are not micro manager
They seem to keep things going.
Some (not all) of the executive team understand the challenges and are willing to listen.
Very helpful as always and the speed of services
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Listen to the employees, pay us a living wage, communicate with us like human beings, stop the corporatese evasion, provide clear expectations and pathways to promotion, follow through on DEI lipservice to actually support marginalized colleagues, pay us a living wage that keeps up with COL
Fix the culture. Start with making it less "power-point" driven and more action oriented. Inspire people to manage down, not manage up. Put some limits on how powerful HR is. The company is practically run by HR and finance and they get in the way of people who are actually getting work done
Cultivate more sensitivity to employees needs
Need to be honest, and not to against employees based on its need
Hiring competitive and competent executives who can lead AND get things done
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Wiley PTO policy is excellent
The insurance is Aetna, and I have personally had few issues with them. YMMV, but as a trans person, it is reassuring to know my insurance at least covers the care I need. The OOP cost is comparable to other companies.
it pays a lot of money and gives a lot of benefits
In a tough economy, I am managing -- able to provide a comfort level to my family and I am able to help/give to others.
Review from Marketing Dept
Paid time off and holidaies
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I feel as a south african citizen I'm not well recognized and no opportunity for growth
At this point in my career, it is not longer about compensation. I know I can get higher compensation somewhere else. it is making an impact and be excited about the mission.
I work very hard and get very average pay
If they were to research market rates and compensate fairly
A raise in base and bonus
What are some of the best things about your team?
We work well together and care for each other
easy to work with and very helpful
Team members are friendly and competent.
Many of my friends are coworkers who I started socializing with outside of work, and I value those connections deeply.
every one is quite happy
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
They could try learning better English . . .
Too many colleagues hired to be singly responsible for a function but without the experience of similar roles at high-performing organizations.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
people care from the top down
We are mostly all remote, so company culture is pretty nonexistent, beyond some lame attempts at raising company spirits with rewards programs and rah rah town halls. The people themselves are much better, and I've never worked with so many fellow LGBTQ folks, so that's great.
Pleasant environment despite the fast pace to reach our goals.
Review from Marketing Dept
The team is very willing to help out with anything
The people and their attitudes
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
improve and better interaction between department
CEO needs to address the problem of HR being too powerful and putting obstacles for others to do their work
Hire execs that know the business. Involve middle and senior managers more in leadership's thinking. Make sure objectives are actually transformed into individual team functions and projects. Stop outsourcing roles that are strategic.
What did you like most about the interview process?
honesty was high on my list
I liked the fact that there was no interview.
I believe it is a fair process where all questions are answered candidly.
Review from Marketing Dept
People are very friendly and warm
There were some good questions asked
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
If employees from all over an equal opportunity
This question is too generic.. It varies based on the group
What makes you most happy at work?
my coworkers are great people
Working with my team and presenting an outstanding web-native platform to computer science instructors and hearing how we make their jobs better and their students' learning experience better.
The projects are generally interesting and intellectually challenging.
When I clock out for the day
The thing that makes me most happy at work is money.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
they need to have a clear vision for the company
You can start by improving the technology
Continual whittling away at benefits, making it harder to attract and retain the talent we need to transform our business.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
I would like to see Base salaries increased
More Balance in work efforts
