What did you like most about the interview process?

I was interviewed twice and it was quite easy to get the job. I was interviewed in a respectful way which is ironic as the company culture is anything but respectful.

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

The product is poor quality but management do not want to acknowledge this. There are frequent breakdowns and a whole host of reasons for customers not to buy it. Management need to hold the CTO accountable for a lack of innovation and quality.

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

I would be happier if I were paid what I was owed every month but you have to relentlessly remind the FD that you need your money. I have been paid late and had to fight for money that I earned at this company.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

The leadership team exist to pull wool over the eyes of the shareholders who have invested in the company. Everything is about getting cash in and they even owed most employees money for over a year before paying us back. The CEO & COO need to learn basic respect towards human beings.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

People need training instead of being thrown in at the deep end on day 1. The staff retention rate over the last few years has been abysmal and this is largely down to staff not receiving a basic level of respect from management and not being trained properly to do their jobs.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

The CEO. There are less than 20 employees at the company so it is not as though the CEO does not know what is happening. Unfortunately, he is somewhat tyrannical and is a very negative influence on the culture. He needs to go on a management course along with the rest of his senior managers.
