Management Needs Improvements - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei Rocketbots: Mitarbeiterbewertung

TLDR; Company suffers from stereotypical startup issues. Proceed at your own risk if you decide to work with the company, and are willing to stomach everything for the promise of a better cloudy future. Expanded list for cons: Management Issues: Management needs to formulate policies better instead of focusing on mass hiring. They also need to manage expectations, and listen to their staffs more. Mismatched Expectations: Whilst 1-on-1 with Managers are great, some Managers lack the experience of being a Manager so they're not equipped with knowing how to convey certain expectations .This breeds mismatched expectations due to the miscommunications and can create frustration throughout the entire working process. Toxicity: Whilst being straightforward is appreciated, being vicious is not. There are times I witness an inappropriate joke said, with the upper management speaker unaware that they're crossing certain boundaries (imho, very demeaning and hurtful!). Other times, it's a callous word that puts a person down or come across as threatening. Please consider us as human beings, we are not machines. Lack of Visibility: There is a lack of visibility in upper and middle management decisions. Staffs do not fully comprehend the direction of the company and are often blindsided by last minute decisions. Late & Unachievable OKRs: OKRs are often announced late into the first month of the quarter with the goals ambitious and lofty. It is common to hear different staffs from the various departments mention that they aren't able to meet their OKRs. These need to be better tweaked so it doesn't reflect poorly on the staff. Extended Probations: Probationary staffs that aren't meeting expectations can expect their probations to be extended. Whilst this is great and a consideration from the company to ensure the staff has ample time to grow, this can backfire for the very reason that the staff is incompatible with the company. It would be better for management to decide carefully whom they should extend probations to, to prevent further disruption to the system. Superfluous Requirement for in-Person Attendance: Whilst there's a hybrid work system in place, upper management requires certain departments and staffs to always be in the office. Given the nature of the work, there should be further encouragement to move to a remote work system. Lack of Trust & Micromanagement: There's a lack of trust in management due to the amount of micromanagement. Too much time is spent with pivoting when working on tasks due to managements fickle mindset, only to come back to the originally presented solution from staff.
