Identifying who defies the status-quo and can make a difference.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
REMOVE ALL PERQS FROM EXECS.
Because they took away my pay and still think they have the right to control me

Creators are the lifeline of the company and should be treated as such.
Review from Product Dept
It would be better if I made more money
As many companies, they don't care about you, but about your current pay before making a decision. And HR lies about the real cost of living differences.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Be inclusive and not authoritative
transparent communication doesnt happen enough
Review from Product Dept
A lot of Python developers that hate C++, doing C++ migration and forbidding C++ experts from taking decisions, simply because they don't understand C++.
They need to learn right from wrong, they need to learn what is appropriate for audiences instead of just putting out whatever is going to get shock value
Review from Design Dept

Everything. This company is in shambles.
Ceo should be fired. she needs to go

Provide more opportunity for smaller creators.
Review from Product Dept
Not sure. But making Python experts into C++ experts is a very bad way to go.
Just pay attention, and if something wrong happens do something but it instead of staying silent
Review from Design Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Review from Product Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Everything. workers are unfairly treated, censored, effectively fired for things done off the job. we're not allowed to have lives even
Review from Product Dept
Big companies have lot's of "wow", even when the work is not that great. I did an interview were the intervewee asked me about the work and inneduatelly said "of course you love working here". The thing is: Google is prepared to deal with a lot of non-experienced people. Microsoft with experienced.
Service is not all the way there yet
Review from Marketing Dept
Popularity overthrows Justice, they keep people on board because of money and excuse everything wrong they do
Review from Design Dept
