Pros
- Sufficient autonomy, as long as you stay within the boundaries of what the Manager specifically wants from you. - Nice overall culture "we are a family" type of messaging. - 100% geared towards results --> I think this would work for someone who had previous industry experience in the specific field or function. - Very nice team, although highly stressed and under the pump.
Cons
- No ramp up, you swim or you're out, literally. - High stress environment. - Manager managed, but was not what you would call a People Leader, nor did they seem interested to be. Imagine a pottery class, the Manager was a judge, not a coach. - Management casually moved the goal post at every meeting, so you can't win. As I mentioned before, this could work for someone who brings the specific hard skills that are called for (could do it my eyes closed type). - Team work culture felt like going back to the 1990s/2000s, definitely didn't connect to the 2020s.
