the team structure in my organization. Also having a free and flexible environment to work comfortably.

Review from Engineering Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

The product only works for white people

some of the leadership is toxic and focused on looking good vs doing what's right

Review from Marketing Dept

Middle management either needs to be improved, or removed, one or the other.

Everything is broken on the user side. But nobody is fixing these things.

Review from Marketing Dept

the culture is best described as "bare minimum effort".

Leadership lacks the EQ to run a company. They have a very limited understanding of the product, the user, and are easily distracted by shiny things instead of working towards a cohesive vision. Improvement: hire new leadership who actually understand what innovation needs in order to flouish.
