Lunar Energy Response
2yThank you for taking the time to share your experience. I genuinely value feedback, especially those that point out areas where we can improve. I wish these concerns had been communicated directly to me during your time with us, as it would have allowed us to address them head-on.
I’d like to follow up here and address a few of the key points you brought up.
Diversity & Inclusion: We recognize the importance of a diverse workforce. As an engineering-led organization, I'm proud that we have greater female representation than the industry average, but we recognize that’s not enough and we continue to aim higher. We’ve also established a DEI culture council that listens and provides recommendations to leadership. We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, which was positively reflected in our recent culture and engagement survey.
Management: Our management team has a proven track record of shipping products. We further support their growth with the guidance of an executive coach, helping them excel in leading, communicating with, and supporting their teams.
Compensation & Titles: We benchmark our compensation regularly and adjust compensation in line with market trends. Every employee's compensation is reviewed at least annually. Our transparent promotion process guarantees fairness and growth opportunities. We also assess new hires at six months to ensure appropriate leveling and compensation.
Benefits & PTO: As a startup, we recognize the dedication and hard work from our teams. While our growth phase may be intense and not for everyone, we recognize that people need time off. We encourage people to take breaks, and as a norm we expect our employees to take 15 - 20 vacation days per year as a minimum, not counting holidays.
Company Culture: Lunar has a unique culture that we're proud of reflected in high scores during our most recent culture and engagement survey. We're committed to ensuring Lunar's culture remains inclusive, positive, and inspiring.
I recognize that we’re a startup moving fast and that there’s always room for improvement. We always value feedback and will continue to push for excellence.
Grace, VP of People
