Svantaggi
- Leadership cares, but needs to acknowledge the inner circle that has formed as the company has grown. There are high ups in design and engineering who act unprofessionally to people below them. These people need to understand what is and is not okay when they reach that level at a company. Do they have any oversight? Have they had any leadership training or did they just move up because they served the company well? Tenure is not good enough. Give them the tools to be more equitable leaders who can see past their own opinions and egos. Hold them accountable. - The CEO should not try to direct projects while also running the company. It adds far too much noise, detracts from the heavy lifting done by the rest of them, and is not as helpful as them being a great CEO (which they are). - Tons of micromanagement and thrashing from production and leads, who scramble to find solutions but often can hardly decide things amongst themselves. - The company is still figuring out what mobility looks like at its larger scale. Softer personalities seem to rarely win a the loudest person in the room is sometimes the only one that's heard. - All in all, I would recommend the company but with various caveats. If Magnopus addresses its growing pains, leadership and cultural improvements, it can be a great place to work.
