I've learned the difference between Bosses and Leaders years ago, and that's how I could identify the management mindset of MVSI quickly.
It's hard to feel a place on your first day, but after a few weeks you kind of realise the vibe around you and then you put together all the pieces of information you collected, so if you're already working here pay attention to these details:
- You're pushed to start your “shift” at the appointed time, but leaving at the agreed time is not viewed favourably. And leaving later is not even a compensation. (BTW, they joke about the time you arrive just to make you uncomfortable).
- You'll constantly hear how they want to make millions with the company, but you won't hear about any value they want to bring to people.
- The big boss knows everything! So save your energy to argue with someone else.
- If you're (un)lucky you'll hear the management tell people WHAT to do, but hardly HOW to do. “They” often point fingers on your mistakes, never praise your good work.
These are such subtle details, but later you can see that they don't give a damn to the product, or the people who uses it. There is no passion for the work.
