Thank you for your review. We proud of our total rewards (aka "benefits package") - it truly is incredible! And we hear you on making improvements to "long time processes." But, we'd argue that many (MANY) of these have been simplified over the last couple years, thanks to support and direction to "keep things simple" from senior leadership. We're very optimistic those "long time processes" will be relics of the past with time!

We're happy to hear you appreciate our comprehensive Total Rewards package! We agree - it IS fantastic. And while we are a mid-sized organization, we strongly believe in development and are diligent about preparing each employee for their next role or opportunity - even if that means a lateral move to learn new skills.

Pros

Hybrid, autonomy, work life balance

Cons

They took away titles (VP) saying it was a market move which doesn’t make sense. Some people were let go in an “expense cutting” but they were very talented and likely a threat to someone. Politics is everywhere!

Thank you for your honest feedback. It's important to us to communicate organizational or structural changes with openness and transparency, and we're sorry to hear that has not been your perspective. We did update our employee engagement survey for many reasons, including a couple that you mention: better questions to understand true employee sentiment and comment boxes to share more. We hope this opens doors to better conversation, planning and strategy for our employees!
