What makes you most happy at work?

My salary is the best thing about my work.

What did you like most about the interview process?

I came in as a contractor, and was then converted, so my interview process looked different than others.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Understanding and supporting foundational work, and defending that work to the C-suite who only wants to chase shiny new ideas.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Colleagues at my level (independent contributor) are highly competent and want to collaborate. (Leadership often gets in the way of collaboration.)

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

Unlimited PTO and family leave. I know there's a downside to unlimited PTO, but it's good to have as a parent. And I see both men and women taking family (maternity/paternity) leave. ICs support each other taking PTO.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Its amount. I'm paid a lot for what I do, which is the only reason I haven't left - although the just-announced "culture shift" will likely mean my performance will never be enough, meaning I likely will no longer get any bonus.
