Pretty Good Culture, Not Good Enough for Low Pay
Pretty Good Culture, Not Good Enough for Low Pay
- Culture of teamwork.
- Prioritize growth over immediate success.
- Not a blame-based culture.
- The pay is quite low comparatively.
- Very poor stock refreshers mean staying long-term isn't feasible.
- Culture is very team and manager dependent.
- Re-orgs are common, meaning you can't count on your team culture staying the same.
- Pushes everyone to participate in diversity and inclusion initiatives but doesn't reward those who do.
- Recognize and reward D&I work.
- Consider better stock refreshers.
- The culture is good, but not good enough to justify the low pay.
