Struggles with scalability due to leadership - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Tellius

As with many start ups, those who have been there the longest are promoted into leadership/management positions without any management skills or the desire to manage. There is a severe lack of management or the desire to provide direct and open feedback in the department I was in. Some leaders would blatantly lie or obfuscate the truth to avoid difficult conversations. Often projects or parts of projects would be completed for someone rather than providing communication around what to do differently which prohibits scale. Some efforts to standardize and scale were raised during my time at Tellius, but any feedback on these processes from lower level employees was not received well or implemented by leadership. Tellius also lacks women and LGBTQ representation and does little for bias or sexual harassment training. This is amplified by having no representation in leadership. Moreover, this was an issue in my department with inherent favoritism towards women who had outside work relationships with their superiors.
