Great Care, Slow Process
Great Care, Slow Process
Management really takes care of the employee base. It's a great place to work. 500 million people use the products we develop, which is cool.
Microsoft fiasco. Google obsession. Lack of strategy to break out of the cycle.
As an engineer, it seems like projects could move faster. We get bogged down in process. Startups with far fewer resources beat us to the punch all the time. Sometimes I'd like to just launch the darn thing and not be so careful.
Take more chances! Don't be so corporate in the way you communicate, internally or externally. If we are going to go it alone, we need a believable battle plan for doing so. I haven't seen it yet.
