What are some of the best things about your team?

Passionate, hard-working, domain experts, honest, great people.

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

Individual contributors do their best, some have become protective. Culture slowly changing to be more collective-focused rather than silos of ownership. But very slow going.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Be visionaries and leaders, not administrators; dont' tell lies to appease concerns within but be honest or don't say anything. You've become so good, you deceive even yourselves, thinking that's what they want to hear. Be unified and be an example by knowing your area of responsibility.

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

CFO and leadership say you should be loyal, what we do is important. They have major stock and bonuses but tell those underneath to feel privileged to work here. Discredit others that pay and reward as not being good companies. We target top talent but mid to low market stock....compensation.
