Vantaggi
Retro systems are brilliant, who wants cloud based systems. Absence of directors is brilliant they really let staff just get on with things. Having no procedures really helps you choose how you want to work. The high staff turnover has really helped me meet many new friends. I have gained first-hand insight into how poor leadership decisions impact a business….invaluable. Great environment for developing patience, tolerance, and an impressive poker face.
Svantaggi
Directors appear detached from operational reality but remain heavily involved in micromanagement. Directors who confuse “being decisive” with “being loudly wrong.” Strategy changes weekly, sometimes daily, occasionally mid-meeting. Accountability flows strictly downward—never upward. Communication is mostly vibes, rumours, and last-minute panic. Watching competent people slowly disengage is an experience.
