Leadership decision-making lacks depth

Manager Engineering • Current Employee

London, England, United Kingdom

Pros: Amazing people in the company. Tech, scale, and performance challenges. Fast moving.

Cons: Everything good about the company is slowly being destroyed. Top-down management is pushing out bottom-up innovation. Decision-making lacks depth and analysis; it just follows the latest trend. We haven't been able to influence anything in the market. Lots of high-profile bets have been abandoned, like payment, metaverse, etc.
