Communication. Executives say and do nothing when employees ask questions. Peter should just stop. What CEO posts shirtless pictures next to an Amazon box? Invest in your employees. $30/mo after taxes for at home office stuff? What can we buy? Half a chair? Be leaders. Run your business.

Review from Engineering Dept

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

Compensation Reviews

New hires in the company get not only drastically more RSU but even higher base salary than someone like me who's been with the company for a while. Multiple managers departure left my contribution un-recognized. Promo and raise are stingy.

Review from Engineering Dept

Stock units became a fraction of their value and no RRSP employer matching in my location.

Review from Engineering Dept

performance review cycle needs improving. its a black box system that works on average but fails to address top talent and bottom of the barrel talent. no calibration between orgs.

Review from Engineering Dept

salary not based on level, skill and experience

Review from Engineering Dept

As an internally promoted employee, I've seen many other new hires at my level get significantly better packages (both salary AND equity, despite my extra years here) than me. I know I am even lower than the low end of my bracket, and I feel helpless with no communication on how compensation works.
