Execs are failing to respond to changing market conditions and making extremely short-sighted decisions that will likely continue to cost them talent and money for as long as they fail to respond.

I am paid less than the others in my position despite having more experience than almost all the others both overall and at the company and having work output that matches or exceeds the others.

It was very laid back. I got to take an assignment home to do beforehand, then I spent an hour talking about that and my past experience with two other developers. It didn't feel like an interview and I much preferred it to white-board coding.

They are all extremely interested in making our product the best it can be. Self motivated and driven by something other than doing the minimum to make a paycheck. All extremely open to giving and receiving feedback, learning from each other, and taking on tough problems.

If by "leadership team" we mean the C-level execs, I can't say I have found much to like. I love my direct boss, though. He's extremely open and honest, and he really does care about making this a better place to work. It's unfortunate he has to work within the confines he works in.
