Cool colleagues, cool projects, terrible management. - Software Engineer Loka Employee Review

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave a review of your experience at Loka. We take feedback seriously as that's how we get better. If I may address some of your points: For the sake of clarity in promotions, we introduced the Loka Career Progression Framework, which provides detailed information on competencies, expectations, levels and channels for navigating the promotion process. We do hold high standards when it comes to promotions, but the CPF gives our teammates a clear path, and it's up to them to put in the effort to advance their career. We make sure to keep our compensation aligned with industry standards to ensure that we are paying competitively and fairly across roles and locations. Additionally we offer unique benefits like every other Friday off, upskilling allowances and mental and physical health memberships. Our robust compensation packages are one reason why Loka averaged a 98% retention rate over the last year. And we invest heavily in training and mentoring our teams. Employees receive a yearly allowance to spend on classes, certifications and industry conferences. We host regular internal knowledge-sharing sessions; LokaSpeaks, a free weekly program for improving presentation and public speaking skills; and Global Demo Beer corners, where Lokals share technical solutions to project problems. All are great opportunities to learn from others. Anecdotally, we hear often from newer employees that if they encounter problems there's always a colleague or manager they can reach out to for help. That said, we're always looking to improve. Can you describe the kind of mentorship you were looking for that you feel like you didn't receive?
