Good pay and remote culture, but weak leadership
Good pay and remote culture, but weak leadership
Good pay and a remote asynchronous work culture.
Leadership seems to be trying to avoid micromanagement, but unfortunately, it still feels like there is a strong tendency to control every aspect of how people work. Rather than encouraging and empowering employees in a way that genuinely boosts morale, the leadership approach is demotivating. They are trying to posture a competitive outlook among team members to increase productivity, which will derail company culture for sure. Overall, the lack of positive encouragement and trust makes it difficult for employees to perform at their best.
Stop micromanaging people and actually work on your part to define the product strategy.
