It's a start-up, so one has to be flexible and understand things move quickly and we all have to wear many hats. People care and allow an open forum to express opinions and ideas! Great talent. Better alignment on goals and greater focus on key priorities will accelerate our success.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
I joined because of the mission; really enjoyed all colleagues. Then greed surfaced. Egos grew. Clics /gossip developed. Unreasonable expectations were abound. Negativity developed. Undermining. All of this and leadership was/is aware and allowing it to happen. Not good.

Compensation must be based upon industry averages - very much below benchmarks (confirmed); goals no aligned with life of company

Listening, demonstrate sincere appreciation for people who are dedicating way too much time to the organization; connect with all levels . . . stop managing from afar. Get their hands dirty!
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Personnel changes at the top (ELT); some senior leaders who are very competent, yet not in the right positions and are very negative, bullying and discriminating. Excruciating every day for the entire team.
