Pros
  • The company is willing to take risks in order to make progress.
  • Internal resources are shifted to face the biggest challenges facing the company.
Cons
  • Senior leadership lacks EQ and is out of touch with the ground level
  • Problems solving approach is success oriented and favors potential schedule gains, rather than addressing problems head on or assuming that some problems might not be solved by the easy route
  • Politics and optics are a large part of how employees rise and fall
Advice to Management

Tim used to talk a lot about how he wanted to build a company that led through inspiration, not fear. I haven't heard that line in a while, and I think the culture is moving towards a toxic model where managers want to hear certain things and embrace the burnout model. I am afraid to bring up issues or rock the boat for fear of losing my job.
