10yThank you for your feedback. I loved your description of the people who work here – wonderful, intelligent, from a variety of backgrounds, who are "all in."
I agree with some of the "cons" you mentioned. First, though we have talented leaders throughout the organization, our hyper growth has at times outstripped our ability to plug holes in the bench.
Second, in terms communication not being as effective as necessary, I plead guilty as charged - fortunately, we are creating a strong internal communication strategy, which is top of my list for 2016.
I'm puzzled by some of the other cons. I am not entirely sure what you mean by lack of autonomy. Are you willing to follow up with more specifics? Same thing with ego – it’s not a word I hear associated with our culture very often, and I'd love to learn more about what you mean. As you know, we have a "no jerks" policy that we work hard to enforce through our thorough interview process, 360 reviews, and a general feedback culture. I would love to better understand the "toxic" people to whom you're referring. I know constructive feedback, especially around people's behavior, is the hardest kind to give, but it's also integral to helping them grow. If you are willing to share more, please reach out.
