The company is really keen on providing a lot of learning opportunities, such as free access to Safari Books and LinkedIn Learning.

Also, they host tech events frequently and are open to sending employees to conferences.

Moreover, there are a lot of opportunities for people to get promoted and even change career paths.

The benefits package, and most importantly the salary, is far below par. People get low salaries, and even when they get promoted, they receive salary increases that are almost an insult. There is a massive wave of employees leaving the company because of financial reasons, but the company refuses to admit it. On the contrary, they ask people to “talk to their manager” if they are concerned, as if their manager is allowed to give them the salary they deserve.

Also, on another topic, the company claims to “love straight talking.” Well, apparently they don’t love it that much when the “straight talking” questions someone from higher management. I cannot see how a company can improve when they do not listen to our feedback. Speaking of which...

Whenever there is a feeling that unpleasant feedback will be given through a channel, they shut it down or heavily moderate it. Recent examples are deleted Sli.do questions or the “dissapeared” My Voice survey.

Listen to the problems and fix them. Closing your ears to the concerns of your employees doesn’t make the problems go away. Most probably, some people will leave instead, as usual.
