I appreciate their accessibility and openness to hearing from the team.
Transparency in communications and talking honestly & openly about things going on in the world such as the pandemic.
Review from Operations Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Management training. It seems haphazard and none of the departments communicate with each other
1. Setting realistic deadlines; 2. Actually encouraging healthy work/life balance (not just saying they encourage it); 3. Listening to criticism / creating opportunities to give feedback; 4. Communicating (not just milestones, but strategies and objectives); 5. Transparency

What is the best part about your compensation package?
Salary and RSU's have been great

My HR rep actually advocated to get me as much as possible rather then making me negotiate. Great stocks and sign-on bonus.

Review from Product Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The leveling that determines salaries seems to unfairly limit my salary potential versus how competitors might value me.
The volume of work requires teams to be more built out and not operate so lean. And if operating lean, should increase salaries a bit.
Review from Marketing Dept
increase number of vacation days
Review from Sales Dept
I often work 10-hour days and weekends. I'm not sure anyone else in the company understands how much work my job entails, and that I'm constantly being forced to choose between doing my job well or doing my job within normal business hours.

I do feel like this company's base salary sits lower than other companies and other companies do provide bonuses on top of salary.
