working with my immediate colleagues

It's all good: a generous bonus structure, very generous RSU grants and a competitive salary. No complaints!

Feeling engaged, invested, challenged and respected for my insights and experience. Seeing my efforts directly translate into business success.

My specific team is highly skilled & experienced in a complex market; they know how to collaborate to grow and sustain a successful business based on evidence and logic

Our group takes time to celebrate professional achievements, stop and talk over meals/gatherings and foster a sense of community (despite the fraying of the social fabric due to the pandemic)

Distribute responsibility *and* authority to make decisions and run the business. Over-concentrated decision-making, siloed communication and a history of information "hiding" are stifling growth, de-incentivizing risk taking and initiative, and professionally demoralizing for staff.

Less micro-management; less top-down, centralized control; less cult-like behavior; more honest dialog about what is really needed to grow the business; more trust of and greater agency for the skilled, experienced managers; more culling of problematic, un-collaborative and unproductive individuals

The immediate team I work with is highly competent, collaborative, trustworthy and constructively contrarian. I cannot say same for all of the NTCT long-termers that often behave like it is still 1980's corporate America when we're competing with more agile, open software firms
