A dysfunctional company with a great mission
A dysfunctional company with a great mission
Patreon has a commendable mission: funding the creative class. Being a part of that mission feels rewarding and empowering.
Leadership feels inauthentic.
There is an integrity gap between what leadership preaches publicly and their actions. This was particularly evident in a number of circumstances (e.g., the multiple layoffs).
CPO has failed to walk the talk, so far. A lot of empty promises and "grandiose" strategies but no real changes in the product since he joined.
Turnover is very high at all levels, including key leadership positions.
