Ultranauts Reviews

Thank you for your feedback. As an organization that’s striving to create a workplace where everyone can thrive, we have failed you. Even a single team member feeling that they’re not being heard or taken seriously because of who they are is not OK, especially in a company where we have so many different identities. For people who are not familiar with Ultranauts, that means a company where we have autistic colleagues at all levels, including on the leadership team, where three quarters of us are neurodivergent, where we have more females than males, where a fifth of our managers are Black, and a third of us identify as LGBTQ+. In terms of working with outside partners, we do believe that sometimes it’s important to bring in external expertise, like our engagement with a neurodivergent-led non profit to conduct our psychological safety survey and host follow on discussions to identify opportunities for improvement. Although this year’s psychological safety survey showed that 90% of team members felt safe to openly identify as neurodivergent, and 90% of team members felt more safe at Ultranauts that at any prior workplace (4% felt safety at Ultranauts was average, and 6% felt less safe at Ultranauts than at a previous employer), 90% simply isn’t good enough. We want everyone to have a work environment where they feel safe to be who they are and experience a sense of accomplishment with their teams, and are actively seeking ways to help those who aren’t in that 90% feel comfortable enough to voice their concerns and to address those concerns as best we can while operating within the constraints that come with being a company. By sharing the results of the psychological surveys with all staff and the Board, we hope to create transparency and accountability to continuously improve. By inviting all staff to participate in co-creating solutions (in the case of psychological safety, the process will be led by an independent third party, and allow for anonymous and asynchronous participation), we hope to identify the most impactful actions to implement.
