Kontras
The culture - Emma DNA is not real, people don’t actually embody and live up to it. Besides being entrepreneurial. Ie highly political company, no team feeling - teams are often pitted against each other, accountability is really low A lot of the team leads are really junior and don’t know how to manage a team and people, many have been promoted as a retention mechanism. This generates frustration within the teams and poor performance. As the teams don’t know what and how to do things this also generates frustration and collision with other teams which have dependencies. As performance is not objectively measured and managers don’t know how to evaluate the quality of the work performed as they are not experts themselves and don’t know how to manage a team, the more you show up up to discussions to give your opinion and make yourself heard, the best. This create an atmosphere where everyone is always challenging everyone and people are afraid to speak when they are actually knowledgeable about the topics because agreeness only comes when certain people speak even if you said the same thing 2 minutes before.
