Was hat Ihnen am Interviewprozess am besten gefallen?

It connected you with lots of the team.

Was läuft falsch und wie kann es verbessert werden?

Trust those you hire, by micromanaging you empower the unengaged and entrench the uninspired clock-watchers. Actually invest in people and you'll see dramatic improvment

Was sind einige der besten Dinge an Ihrem Team?

The people were friendly, and truly believed in the co-op missions. Leadership crushed ambitious people if there was no conformity to the cogs in the wheel. Teams were generally great, curious people in getting outside

Was muss geändert werden, um die Unternehmenskultur zu verbessern?

Starts from the top, if you espouse change and valuing opinions than stop listening to those who pander. Encourage people to disagree without facing punitive action in performance or projects. Trust that you hire smart people. Care more about growing then failing and you'll stop failing.

Was braucht das Führungsteam, um besser zu werden?

Actually living the values, removing the toxicity and stop pretending the company is a 1950s dinosaur. Actually trust the smart people that are hired to do good things. Very corporate, very political and be VERY cautious, everybody who's been there long enough knows and protects the other people.

Warum fühlen Sie sich unterbewertet und was würde Sie bei Ihrer Vergütung besser fühlen lassen?

Pay was anywhere between 30-40% under market, constantly coached on how great the benefits package was. When I and several others left after 5+ years, we were scared of the comp and taking pay hits. Our surprise when we took lateral positions in title, less responsibilities and were paid +20%
