Dynamics Inc. is an ambitious company that is still working to develop its technology and its culture. So, there is a lot of room for improvement and sometimes the improvements don't come fast enough and mistakes still get made. A lot of frustration arises from these issues.
As with any young company there is a lot of learning and development to do. We don't yet know how to create a positive culture that nurtures creativity and talent as we aggressively try to deploy our products and that results in people feeling that it's a grind. Because its an open question what kind of company Dynamics Inc will turn out to be, there's uncertainty, and a concern that it will be one that uses people up and gives nothing in return.
The technology is challenging: we are trying to pack an interactive computer, with sensing, actuation and artificial intelligence into a familiar credit card form factor. There is a host of engineering challenges associated with this technology and not knowing all the answers means long hours, blind alleys, lots of ideas that don't work out, worries that we can't get it done, and sometimes feeling that we're not good enough to get it done.
The CEO is the founder and has a vision of how this technology can revolutionize the process of individuals making payments and the payments industry. Dealing with the stress of trying to make a venture like this succeed, when there are a million ways that it can fail, brings out behaviors in him that can be tough to deal with.
