Thank you for writing this, and for the kind words about the team. The people here, and how they support one another, are something we work hard to protect, so it means a lot that it came through during your time with us.
We take all feedback seriously, including the hard parts. A few points we can speak to directly, and since our operating model is public, anyone can check what we say against the playbook itself.
On leadership and oversight: every project is reviewed at our staff meetings, which open with quality scores from Juno, our internal agent that governs delivery, DORA metrics, architecture, quality, and the client experience. It's documented at playbook.wednesday.is/agents-at-wednesday, and it exists so "good" means the same thing on every project.
On roles: Wednesday is a forward-deployment company, and the responsibilities for every level are written down and public, from Level 1 to Principal, at playbook.wednesday.is/forward-deployment-handbook/career-progression.
On onboarding: we run a defined probation of at least three months, with monthly one-on-ones to exchange feedback and confirm the fit before anyone is made permanent, set out in the Becoming a Permanent Employee policy in our Employee Handbook.
We publish all of this openly, and everyone acknowledges it when they join, so expectations never rest on anyone's discretion.
We wish you the very best in what's next, and we're grateful for the work you did while you were here.
On behalf of the team at Wednesday
