What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?It is a small, young, and growing office, so there are plenty of opportunities for professional growth as well as after-work social events.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?Drop the startup mentality and lay out a 5-year plan. Get side projects cash flow positive or put them aside as they are a major distraction for Plugable's strategy needs.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?Plugable coworkers are eager for opportunities to prove themselves and grow. However, lack of training and documentation leads to frequent false starts and frustration on failed product launches and internal projects. More structure would help us all focus on what is right, instead of who is right.
