This sounds like a dysfunctional company to me.
If somebody is a kick-ass programmer AND understands what value he is adding - he will be very successful at the company I am working right now. If he disagrees with his manager AND is right even more so.
But the experience I made is that the “feedback and speaking” up is more driven by personal preference and “what do I want to work on” instead of business and customer need.
- perl4ever 7y ago"This sounds like a dysfunctional company to me." Well, I hesitate to call something "dysfunctional" if it works. It becomes a subjective value judgment. Different companies have succeeded in different ways.
- looping__lui 7y agoThis does sound dysfunctional in a way that decision making is obviously happening more compartmentalized and individual ownership is severely limited. There is a reason why many super successful companies have values/culture: shift ownership and decision making as much to the people at the forefront as possible to avoid “managing them from the top”. Empowering engineers and scientists to develop a sense and say in product priorities is great, extremely difficult but speaks for a company that values contributions beyond a “specialization/niche”
