Springboard Manager reviews

It's an autocratic environment. I disagreed on a recent approach with CTO, ultimately he spinned things around and we had to do his way. Previously I disagreed on projects with CTO everytime he would force his way. Another colleague disagreed on project priority in the past, had similar experience. Then someone mentioned Glassdoor reviews in a recent team meeting and I could see its rather very common here at Springboard. All decision making, no matter how small like seating arrangements in new office to no matter how big like projects for the quarter or who gets the performance award or what you think about a particular situation concerning larger company, if the CTO is not happy with it, the directors along with CTO would go to extended lengths to turn it down and ultimately, you have no option but to obey. It's a mental harassment when you are asked to be creative, don't worry about hierarchy, be open about your thoughts but you eventually realize its all just hypocrisy to get talented peiple to work for you at reduced rates. Don't fall prey to this nonsense

As with any startup, things keep changing; there is an expectation to underpromise and overdeliver
