Bring patience. Lots of it. - Program Manager Known Employee Review

The joking chatter was that the co-founders 'woke up and started a business, it grew too big, they didn't expect it, and they don't have experience on how to manage it and what to do next'. They're really great people that I respected but not so great leaders, sadly. Founders and Directors make decisions as a group, and are extremely slow to accepting new ideas and taking risks. e.g They changed to 'Known' because it was written in graffiti on a train, launched without a proper plan, and within a year are brainstorming a new name again. If they keep butting heads with new Directors or Managers they seem to let them go. We joked we needed to 'just keep swimming' . The recruitment interviews will sell a polished show but there's a lot of mess behind the curtain and extreme patience required. It's a shame because HR put in a lot of work to keep the good vibes. Office is always empty.
