Harmonia Response
4yAs I'm sure you are aware, for the last year we have been providing SAFe Agilist training to every single employee who wants it in an effort to step up our capabilities in regards to Agile methodology. I hope you took advantage of that opportunity to be involved in positive change and progress, given your concerns. And no, we probably aren't able to pay as much as some of the large tech companies; but we make up for it in other ways, and our retention rates and 93% employee satisfaction rates speak to that. We also provide extremely affordable benefits (most being free with only $25 monthly premiums for Health Insurance) and a generous 401(k) match of 5%. And we CARE about our teams and our communities and go out of our way to ensure each person on our team truly feels a part of the "Harmonia family". I hope you at least felt that, based on the lasting friendships you made here.
At the end of the day, while we know money matters (we all need to pay our bills) we value- and reward-- team players who are motivated by opportunities for innovation, strategic improvement, and being part of a company that makes an impact and cares for others; and while we appreciate constructive criticism intended to improve the way we work and/or care for our team, I have found that criticism brought up in a public forum seldom has that intent.
I do hope you also took the opportunity to bring up these concerns with your management while you were still part of the team- as it is only by addressing problems that we are able to resolve them.
