What does the leadership team need to get better at?

There is absolutely no plan for career advancement of top performers.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Many talented and hard working individuals. Dynamic leader. However we are all held down by unrealistic goals and internal corporate politics.

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

Leadership fails to realize that more than 50% of my time is absorbed by required administrative activities that do not generate revenue. However revenue is the KPI they focus on most.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Improve the response time. Train your managers on proper interview techniques. Most have no idea how to get out poor candiadates and hire in people that should not have been considered.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

There is absolutely no focus on improving internal systems. What work is being completed is completely siloed and only causes issues in other areas. There simply is not a cohesive focus on what needs to be done for every one to be successful long term.
