Great culture in theory but leadership communication needs improvement.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
epilot has many great ideas when it comes to company culture, openness, and collaboration. Most colleagues are friendly, talented, and genuinely care about the product and customers. However, there is a noticeable gap between the company’s cultural values and how some senior leaders communicate.
Feedback is often delivered in a harsh or disrespectful way, even publicly.While this might not be intentional, it creates an atmosphere of fear and insecurity, especially for newer employees or those who are less confrontational. Some people adapt and build tolerance, but others feel demotivated or even consider leaving because of the tone.
There is also a lack of diversity in leadership - all management positions are currently held by men. This contributes to a feeling of “toxic masculinity” in how discussions and conflicts are handled, where empathy and emotional intelligence are undervalued.
epilot has strong potential and many people who truly care, but leadership would benefit from better communication training, more inclusion, and awareness of how words and tone impact others. With these improvements, the company could live up to the values it promotes.

Dear ex-colleague,
Thank you for your honest and thoughtful feedback!
We’re grateful that you took the time to reflect on both the strengths and challenges you’ve experienced at epilot. It means a lot to hear that our ideas around culture, openness, and collaboration are resonating and that you see the care and talent many of our colleagues bring to their work every day.
At the same time, your feedback about the disconnect between our values and how some leadership communication is perceived is something we take seriously. We never want anyone to feel disrespected or insecure in their environment, and it's clear we have room to grow in making all forms of feedback more constructive, empathetic, and inclusive.
We acknowledge the lack of gender diversity in leadership right now, and agree this imbalance can influence communication styles and team dynamics. We're committed to building a more inclusive leadership team over time.
epilot is on a continuous journey, and voices like yours help us improve. If you’re open to it, we’d appreciate a direct conversation to understand more and involve you in shaping the path forward.
Thanks again for your courage and care!
Best regards,
Eka
