Vantaggi
Was somewhat flexible in terms of working hours, but getting worse Well-stocked pantry & relatively new office New hardware product development in a startup (hardware is hard, which comes with plenty of learning opportunities) Many talented colleagues with varied interests
Svantaggi
- Often inequitable / unjust remuneration & opportunities. People can be paid vastly different amounts for the same job & experience level. - Knee jerk reaction is strong here - but ironically, responses are often too late and do not address the root cause. - Poor communication of changes by management. Employees feel powerless. Constant reorg on a 9-12 mth cadence. - Lack of a concrete strategy/ game plan to succeed. The industry has evolved and progressed much faster than the company & its technology. Significant failures in prioritization of resources in the past did not help. - Culture is deteriorating. Company values are a sham. Gone are the days of truly open & transparent communication. From Startup -> SME, if you catch my drift. - Brain drain on the technical side - significant amounts of tribal knowledge lost.
