Solid Foundation, trending in the right direction
DO has some good values and smart engineers. The C-suite seems to know what they're doing. The culture isn't suffocating and culty like some engineering companies.
Project management is a bit heavy handed. The pace is slow for a company this age and size. They've underinvested in internal tooling.
We need to take our values of accountability, speak up + listen, and simplicity more seriously:
- Atlassian tools have poor usability and search, so we should pivot.
- Internal services need owners and SLAs.
There are ways to be both more effective and efficient, but they take some investment.
