> I’m sure at times our internal processes - pretty much inevitable for a medium size company - have meant we have moved a little slower than Cockroach would have been able to, as a smaller more agile company but they understood that and were happy to move at our pace.
What does this mean exactly？
- mosselman 9y agoIf 'our' refers to Kindred I think they are saying that they believe that they move slowly as a company and that they believe this is due to their size. They also believe that Cockroach moves more quickly and they believe that this is due to Cockroach being 'agile'. He then says that Cockroach is fine with moving slowly with them. These sound like euphemisms for "We are a company where decisions are not based on trust so they require a lot of red tape. Cockroach's team does not have to wait for decision makers to cover themselves from potential backfire as much and as such can start development of things more quickly. They are willing however to provide our managers with ass-covering materials such as certifications, domain models and requirement documents that start with 'an overview of the company' and add with a 'glossary' though."
- couchand 9y agoIt's probably worth noting that Kindred operates in a highly-regulated industry, which may affect the wisdom of making many decisions based on trust.
