Meltwater is a wonderful company, made wonderful by its commitment to company values. It has a valuable and well-built suite of products. That said, I don't have enough conversations about my career and growth- and find it difficult to carve out the time to have these kinds of conversations.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
I like that there is a commitment to the employees as humans. I also appreciate the push to be better at bringing in and retaining diversity in our teams. Having a plan with follow-thru is really important. Also appreciate the drive to keep profitable.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
I like my colleagues a lot, but I am often overwhelmed with anxiety before our interactions. It takes a lot of mental preparation. Continuing to foster a culture where people feel safe to express vulnerability is important and something I see Meltwater trying to improve.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
While I appreciate that my salary is in a fair range, I am paid less than colleagues in the same role as me who have similar skillsets and years of experience. I work extremely hard. Benefits are mostly good, but it's hard to get some things approved. Covering couples counseling would also be nice.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I dread going to work. I work my ass off, and it doesn't seem like enough. Or I'm not receiving feedback about if it is or if I'm just screwing up. I feel like I'm never enough for my team. I think we need to improve our communication culture. More retros just about that maybe.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Trying to think of things. Being remote is hard. I used to have many close work friends, but no longer have any. It feels like we all trust each other less too. Maybe more feedback, especially about why/if you do or don't have confidence in me? I feel isolated and alone here- a new feeling.
