Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us feedback, it really means a lot. In regards to pay, our compensation philosophy is to pay competitive to market based on cost of talent data using high tech salaries surveys for benchmarking. We review our salary ranges on an annual basis and then conduct an annual salary planning review for market adjustment increases.

Pros

Working remotely is the only pro

Cons

Management in the purchasing department is mean about suppliers they deal with, promotes favouritism and are firing whoever they don't like. 3 employees were fired before being bullied and unprofessionally spoken to.

Employee feedback plays an important role in helping us identify opportunities for improvement and strengthen the experience we create for our teams, so we appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. While we're glad to hear that our virtual-first work model has been a positive part of your experience, we're sorry that other aspects have not met your expectations. Concerns related to leadership, team dynamics, and workplace conduct are taken seriously. Although we cannot discuss individual situations in a public forum, we have established processes for reviewing issues when they are raised and are committed to evaluating feedback thoughtfully and fairly. If you have not already done so, we encourage you to connect with your Employee Experience Business Partner. They can better understand your experience, discuss your feedback in more detail, and help ensure your concerns are appropriately addressed.
