Visionary CEO with bad team building skills - werkgeversreview Product Manager bij KidsLoop

Global company and growing rapidly. Flat organisation culture with amazing teams. Generous compensation package. WFH

so far so good, no cons

My coworkers. At least I had some brilliant people to work with.

Lack of leadership. Claiming to be a “startup” but instead of keeping things lean and fast they kept building layers within the hierarchy that just helped fulfill greed for upper management. Especially the CEO - the one time he had the chance to speak to folks for the first time at a townhall in a growing company he opted in for a short video message instead of a live session demonstrating a lack of passion or interest in engaging with employees. The vision and goals were never clear but even when there were any, things would be thrown out the window the next day - not by any strategic means but because the CEO “didn’t like it”. Everything was about whether the CEO liked it not - not what the market or users would need or want.
