Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

I've enjoyed parts of my time at the company. I have the best manager anyone could ask for and a fantastic group of teammates, as well as a few good friends. The changes that have happened since Haveli took over have not been pleasant.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

This company was a great place to work for several years. But recently, leadership has deteriorated, our priorities are all over the place, and our best people have left. I feel like the company is a sinking ship that needs major emergency repairs. I'm stressed out every day and dread Mondays.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

The 401(k) match is by far the best part of my comp package.

What are some of the best things about your team?

I have a fantastic manager and a handful of the best teammates I could ask for.

What are some of the best things about your team?

They are hardworking, dedicated, have great attitudes, and are always willing to help out even when it isn't their "job."

What do you like best about the leadership team?

They seem to be straightforward and open about what's going on. I particularly appreciate David's approachability and his willingness to personally field questions from employees.

What makes you most happy at work?

My manager is one of the best people I've ever known. She is the reason I took this job and the reason I continue to stay.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Too much micromanagement from C-level leadership. Too much conflicting guidance. Too many conflicting priorities. Too many hands in the cookie jars. How to fix it? I don't know.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

There's too much micromanaging and too many conflicting priorities and obligations being pushed down from higher up. It's incredibly unclear what our focus is and frustrating to get so many different priorities from different people.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

We are empowered and trusted to do our work without a bunch of needless oversight and micromanaging. I feel like my manager and leaders look for results, not how much time I'm spending answering Slack messages and emails.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Some of the people you've hired are absolute superstars, and truly outstanding in how they relate to others and how they get work done. We have an important mission and I think if we simplified our focus, we'd be unstoppable.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Way too obsessed with AI. No clear direction on priorities. Something new is important every single day, so we have to keep pivoting. Too much turnover in leadership. You've let all our best people go and hired other people with questionable abilities and poor leadership.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

I'm overwhelmed. I never know what to expect week to week, or even day to day sometimes. I always have a new person to answer to, my priorities always get shifted when I'm halfway through something, and then I get impossible deadlines to do things because OTHER PEOPLE didn't plan accordingly.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

I'm paid fairly for my role. The remote-first organization is modern, necessary, and just makes sense. Since you've changed our health insurance provider, I have much better options if my wife loses her benefits or her job. Unlimited PTO is great, even though I don't use it much. I just don't worry.

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

The coworkers on my direct team are excellent. It's when I have to start dealing with OTHER teams that I run into unending stress and frustration. We need CLEAR systems in place for deciding what to work on, who gets to PUT work on your plate, and how the project moves. Not, "I have an emergency!"

What is the best part about your compensation package?

I am paid well, and the company does a great job in ensuring that I'm compensated according to the market value of my role. And the unlimited PTO is fabulous. I never abuse it, but it's nice not to have to worry about how many days I've "banked" when I get sick or want a short vacation.
