Vantaggi
- Great mission, product-market fit
- Friendly and smart team (the folks actually doing the work)
Svantaggi
- CEO is blatantly insecure, paranoid, micromanaging, controlling, and reactive. A ton of energy wasted just in managing her reactions. No room for diversity of thought; she fires people who disagree with her or see different data, rather than drawing from multiple perspectives or sharing good reasoning for decisions
- Fear-driven culture — many leaders just go along with things even if they privately disagree
- In certain parts of the company, no support for growth due to leadership chaos
- Low-performing teams due to leadership bottlenecks and thrash. Leadership process still immature in setting goals and running performance process
- Getting basic tools that are industry standard for other products, take forever because leadership is so fear-driven. Innovation pace is slow
