Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

There's a lot I love about the company - benefits, chances for creativity, community, etc. But some positions (including mine) don't have a clear growth trajectory, which is frustrating.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

Generally positive - but with a recent shift I'm struggling to feel a sense of direction.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

they're transparent and mostly accessible.

What are some of the best things about your team?

great people, very collaborative, always have each others' backs

What are some of the best things about your team?

Fun, engaging, smart people who are largely easy to talk to.

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

Dog friendly office! Joking aside, it's a nice, collaborative work environment.

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

The company is willing to hear feedback and change to reflect needs.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

They're accessible, so i never feel like I can't go talk to them.

What are some of the best things about your team?

A lot of the team I work on is super close, which is great. Conversation feels generally friendly.

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

Amazing benefits, and (when not COVID from home) amazing events and team building opportunities which bring us together.

What makes you most happy at work?

I love getting to be creative and step outside my "box" to try on/take ownership of other projects.

What makes you most happy at work?

I love managing and seeing the people who report to me step into their own and crush it.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I love the open door policy - It never feels like I CANT talk to anyone or like anyone is "out of reach"

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

I feel like our weakest team is HR, which isn't ideal - it's unusual to feel like HR is really listening to employees feedback.

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

Our team is solid, but with such fast hiring, it's hard to get to know new people. Also, sometimes teams get a bit insular.

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

It's frustrating that big one-time accomplishments are rewarded more than being a consistent, reliable team player. There's a lot of ways contribute valuably, wish all were rewarded equally.

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

I've recently taken on more responsibility thanks to a shift in the company and would like a raise/promotion associated with that responsibility rather than the paltry 4% for good performers that doesn't really track with inflation.

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

It often seems that the people working the hardest and hustling aren't the ones getting paid the most. Also, the company is married to certain metrics being the only ones that matter for raises/promotions and they don't take into account people who support those metrics but don't claim them directly
