Awesome technical innovation stifled by sub-optimal communication and teamwork
Pros
- Shaking up a very large and interesting industry with new technologies - Weekly AMAs help keep people on the same page as leadership and can be fun - Leadership seems fairly organized. - Lots of time to actually work instead of meet about working
Cons
- The biggest con is communication. It feels very bad to ask questions or contribute to the discussion and have my questions/comments ignored. It's common to go a day or two without really hearing anything substantial from the team and getting feedback on things like product demos, user feedback, etc is really difficult. - My team does not have retrospectives; bringing things up in 1:1s doesn't feel like its doing enough and it feels like we're not looking to improve. - Product and Engineering (at least on my team) feel like they're often not understanding each other and is failing in regards to team work.
