Horrible management and decision making - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Gardyn

Being with Gardyn for over a little over 5 years now, I've experienced first hand the transformation it's made over the years. The one thing I've always loved are the 5 pillars it stands behind. I've been allowed the opportunity to be independent and know my choices in the moment are trusted. I've come to embrace radical candor, where feedback is a staple in driving real connection and improvements without retaliation. It's a common ground that drives change and real conversations. I have been given opportunities to grow, room to learn by mistakes and make decisions that are making an impact. I'm so proud to be a part of this diverse company, working side-by-side with incredibly talented people that are all focused on the same goal.

Working 100% takes time to adjust to. Setting boundaries for work life balance is so important and being flexible to different time zones. Working asynchronously is an important adjustment working at Gardyn. It can be challenging at times but if you're willing to adjust, it the most amazing and rewarding company to ever work for.

Good product. Easy to believe in what you're selling. Small team, fast execution, you'll see your work live within days of building it. Some of the smartest people I've had the pleasure of working with.

This is a company run by one person's instincts. Strategy shifts based on what the CEO focused on that day, and teams are expected to absorb the whiplash without complaint. The level of micromanagement is obscene. People end up pushing strategies they don't believe in because the CEO doesn't take no well, then get held accountable for outcomes they had little control over. Targets get set with little grounding in what's actually achievable, then treated as fixed once they're on paper. When the numbers don't hit, the instinct at the top is to look for someone downstream to blame rather than examine the plan that produced them. Headcount stays thin because growth gets prioritized over stability, so people end up covering more ground than one role should reasonably hold.
