What's one thing you wish you'd known before joining Prolific Interactive?
Top Employee Response
That some senior design leadership was on the way out. It’s given opportunities for other members of the team to step up, however which is good. They are open to helping people rise to the occasion
The highest leadership founded the company right after college. They are tight. The first hires they had, that are still around, they are all tight. And that group has had very little experience outside Prolific. They haven't worked anywhere else so change is hard for them to imagine and execute. It can sometimes feel like a tight boys club. But they are all open to discussion and all have their hearts in the right place.
What part of WeWork's business is growing fastest? What part is having difficulties?
Growing pains throughout, finances are unclear and make employees uncomfortable.
Sales is is growing the fastest. Every other department is scrambling to maintain the standards which are impossible to do when things constantly change and feedback is either not requested or simply falls by the wayside. Too many managers at WeWork don't know what they are doing and are only hurting the business.
How's the work life balance at WeWork?
Non-existent
Some departments work life balance is worse than others. Depends on your role.
If you could make changes, how would you improve the culture at WeWork?
Communication and transparency
Nepotism needs to stop. Employees need to be treated fairly and more transparently. Recognize who the bad managers are and get rid of them. Allow your stars to shine properly. Remember that "culture" trickles down and that toxic management will eventually lead to a toxic culture. If the execs are not representative of the company values, you have absolutely no right to throw that in anybody's face.

Business casual, in the widest individual sense, only with four key no-no's; flip-flops, jean shorts, crop tops and singlets (NZ for male tank top)
