Profession but Impersonal
Profession but Impersonal
- Competitive salary
- Incredible people
- Amazing office
- Free food and snacks
- Fantastic benefits

- Micromanagement and often mismanagement;
- Lots of tiny yet annoying bureaucracies and processes, and very impersonal treatment.
Treat your people like humans, stop over-optimising human interactions and replacing everything with bureaucratic walls of text that no one cares about, and live the values that you preach.
