Work-life balance does not exist and burnout is a serious problem. Leadership has been getting better, but it's still painfully obvious that most of the c-suite is learning on the job and are not very skilled at running a company.

What did you like most about the interview process?

The interviewing process was relatively well organized.

What makes you most happy at work?

Seeing customers who actually enjoy our products is inspiring.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Communication is weak. Leadership needs to do better at inspiring and motivating the company, but with poor communications and people skills, this is been difficult.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Stop pushing out tons of new products and features. Wyze has become a product and feature factory. It's demotivating to not be able to focus on improving our products and focus entirely on launching newer things.

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

Equity could be better across all the mid-lower levels. Current equity compensation does little to make most employees feel invested in the company and mostly feels like we're working ourselves to death so that the founders can get rich.

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

Wyze hires some good and some mediocre talent. It's a mixed bag of people you will work with. I think recruiting and interviewing should be more standardized to emphasize the right people skills we want in our colleagues. Currently, we bias towards the wrong skills.
