Love the idea of Novica but in reality there are many problems - Anonymous employee Novica Employee Review

This person left a bad review in 2014 and then seven years later left another bad review referencing this original one they left. To any future employer, good luck pleasing this person. They’ll talk bad about you all day long, but then they’ll stay for 7+ years at the company. If you are this upset, then please figure out a way to talk to others about it to find solutions. We can’t solve anything if you can’t find a way to communicate. Leaving a 1 star review and then staying on for many more years is painful for you and the company. We have important work to do. Positive energy and a collaborative spirit are so important. Glad you’ve moved on and hopefully you’ll find the right match. In terms of “Projects that don’t go anywhere” we’ve more than doubled in size since 2014 when you left this review and it is because of the many projects like our Nat Geo catalog acquisition, modular sites and others that our team helped conceive, shared the creative vision on, and made happen for artisans and so many mission-driven organizations worldwide. In terms of leadership - my leadership style is not to be the boss, but instead to be a collaborative leader. This person was looking for a boss and totally discounted my leadership style. But I've found over time (whether leading in sports, as a coach, in biz groups, at the company) that leading with a collaborative style and giving people more autonomy and flexibility is so much better. It is the job of the leader to set up an environment where people can thrive for the long term. Yes, being a tough boss can get short term results. I’ve had tough ego-driven bosses, I do well for them because I aim to please, but I don’t enjoy the work as much, that’s for sure and I never stayed long under those types of leaders. Instead, a leader that can create a positive environment, where everyone is aligned and doing important work with a purpose… well, that’s the recipe for success.
