My main issue is that there is definitely more emphasis on caring about the company, and end product rather than the people who make it there. It is no secret that virtually everyone is dissatisfied with the lack of work-life balance, and that employee morale is low.
Secondly, I believe there is a lack of discussion on the work we do. We finish projects and immediately, we are on a new one. Rarely do we get proper feedback on the work we do, or the time to discuss with other workers on the work we did. I think this lack of feedback stunts methodological growth. How do we know that the questions we asked, the methods we used were the right ones? There is no time for introspection on either ourselves, or on the study itself.
Lastly, I believe our CEO to be a good, and passionate person but can be misled when it comes to incentives. Giving gifts and free food does not make us happier to work here, when respect for our own personal lives is breached constantly.
