Qu’avez-vous le plus aimé du procédé d’entretien?

It connected you with lots of the team.

Qu’est-ce qui ne va pas et comment cela peut-il être amélioré?

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

Quelles sont les meilleures choses à propos de votre équipe?

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

Que faut-il changer pour améliorer la culture de l’entreprise?

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.

De quoi l’équipe de direction a-t-elle besoin pour s’améliorer?

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.

Pourquoi vous sentez-vous sous-évalué et qu’est-ce qui vous rassurerait par rapport à votre rémunération?

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%
