Unity

Reasonably decentralized across the world, people are free to speak their mind, and sometimes their opinion is accepted too.

If you have your own initiative and drive and put effort into pushing it forward, it is not impossible to get it done. But you need both investment in influencing people and putting in the hard work.

Employees from both business and engineering are different, but both are enthusiastic and helpful to each other.

To get things done and pushed forward in a decentralized organization, a lot of influencing and socializing may be needed. It is a bit like running your own company, and it can be stressful.

Because of the huge degree of freedom everyone has in this organization, politics is quite complex, and you need to be diplomatic and careful to navigate in the organization well.

The business and engineering people are great, but I'm not so sure about the HR guys. I wouldn't say bad, but I didn't yet feel anything positive yet.

Focus on loving the people that push things forward and get things done. Give people the justice and empathy, and fight the general encroachment of bureaucracy and politics, which is a force that naturally occurs in any org. Remove people who care only for power, so this community that I love can strive for many more years.

Tune down the marketing hyper enthusiasm a little and focus on presenting with greater authenticity once in a while. After which, it is okay to continue with hyper enthusiasm; it is, after all, kind of our brand signature.
