It's been great. The team is excellent and fun, and the product is breaking new ground by the day.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

Generally okay, but many things to work on if it's going to live up to the (somewhat inexplicable) ratings on this site.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Bold vision paired with realistic planning and decision-making.

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

The people doing the actual work.

What makes you most happy at work?

Solving problems with people I like to be around.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

The pay is competitive, the benefits are excellent, the culture allows for actually using the unlimited PTO. Potential for equity is unclear.

What are some of the best things about your team?

We work at a high level and an intense pace, and we also have a lot of fun together. That balance is valuable to me.

What did you like most about the interview process?

It was relaxed and comfortable, I felt like the employees who interviewed me were all sincerely interested in me as a worker and a person.

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

There's very little ego-jostling, from what I have seen. I also feel comfortable giving and receiving feedback, and it seems that most of my coworkers feel similarly.

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

We're all working too hard, due to positions not being backfilled. We're constantly whiplashing business direction. The executive team is largely out of touch with what us as employees want, as well as what customers actually want.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Easy: I am paid much less than the average salary for my position both at this company and elsewhere—which is totally unfair, given the heavy workload. Also, many of us have asked multiple times about when more eq

What are some of the best things about your team?

The team is smart and friendly, we all work well together. We all deserve to be paid more of the money. Again, if there's money to make Robert Downey our mascot, there's money to pay the people building the product.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

- Keep a direction/strategy longer than a quarter. Constant changes cause whiplash. - Hire and backfill again. If there's money to throw millions at Robert Downey Jr. and Red Sox sponsorships, there's money to hire people. We're all working too hard. - More transparency on decision-making
