Good company with an open culture and some growing pains
Good company with an open culture and some growing pains
The culture is open; discussions are welcome. Individual contributions are valued. Freedom and responsibility at its finest.
Promoting engineers to management comes with a cost: not all good engineers are good managers right away. Additional training may be required.
Invest in training for promoted people. Teach them soft skills they didn't need as much in their previous positions. Remember that a manager's job is to inspire and enable, not to micromanage and tell people what to do.
"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."
Best managers at Roku already live by that motto. We need to make sure the rest does.
