Micromanagement Overload
Verbesserungsvorschläge
There is a strong culture of micromanagement across product and engineering, which limits ownership and slows down decision-making, it’s difficult to truly own sth or move quickly, since even small decisions often require multiple approvals.
!!! Leadership (founder) presence is also inconsistent. It often feels like founders are more frequently being away in places like Mediterranean islands or Cape Town rather than being closely involved with the team, which leads to unclear priorities and shifting direction.
From both a product and engineering perspective, this results in reactive processes, limited autonomy, and difficulty executing a clear long-term vision.
Additionally, vacation days are limited and you shouldn’t take long vacations which makes it harder to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
There are some good people here, but overall the environment can be discouraging—especially if you’re looking for ownership, strong leadership, and a well-functioning product and engineering setup.
