There are a lot of opportunities to learn and grow, work with great people. I love the culture. But we do not offer career development for individuals. I know high performers who left as they were recognized as capable but were moved from proj to proj or given a lot of scope w/o advancement path.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
When I joined Carbon, it was an exciting company to be a part of, even world changing. But it has lost a lot of luster, direction, and I don't see much motivation in the team around me. People still do their work, and are good at it, but there's no hunger or real investment.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Carbon instituted a bonus and fertility benefits, which is great.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Carbon has a lot of very smart people to work with.
What makes you most happy at work?
Reaching major milestones and feeling a win with the full team. Working with smart people.
What are some of the best things about your team?
I think the people at Carbon is among the best part. There are a lot of really smart, capable, and fun people.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
The leadership team genuinely cares about doing the right there, whether that is for business goals, or company culture and staying on top of macro events.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The company cares a lot about social issues and DEI. The ERGs do a great job of creating fun and socially conscious events, and bringing the employee base together.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
People care about social causes, different perspectives, and diversity. I also really love we launched the engagement survey, which highlighted through data some broad sweeping issues, like people don't feel valued, so that we can better address them.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
We are not quite sure what the new CEO's direction for the company is. Since taking over more than 3 months ago, the company has not really seen much of plan. Anything we have seen are rather vague.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The company does not have direction. Most people do what they need to get the job done, but not much more as the company is in a holding pattern. Employees don't have the why of putting in discretionary effort. Advancement opportunities are essentially none.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
My comp is <market by ~10%. I am aware of several director/VP promos w/o equity or comp increase (vs 15-20% std). A level 4 promo on my team was ~5% comp increase on a below mkt base. Hard to be promoted to level 5/6. People talk about this. It's a message the company is not doing well enough.
