Leadership is the problem - Anonymous employee Pano Employee Review

Awesome work culture even from a remote worker. Everyone at Pano cares from the bottom up all the way to the customers. Hearing how the technology impacts communities and saves lives is inspiring no matter how many times you hear it. Can’t speak to politics but it’s easy to tone out the noise when you focus on delivering a great product

startups are fast paced so it takes some time to get up to speed

- Great mission, product-market fit - Friendly and smart team (the folks actually doing the work)

- CEO is blatantly insecure, paranoid, micromanaging, controlling, and reactive. A ton of energy wasted just in managing her reactions. No room for diversity of thought; she fires people who disagree with her or see different data, rather than drawing from multiple perspectives or sharing good reasoning for decisions - Fear-driven culture — many leaders just go along with things even if they privately disagree - In certain parts of the company, no support for growth due to leadership chaos - Low-performing teams due to leadership bottlenecks and thrash. Leadership process still immature in setting goals and running performance process - Getting basic tools that are industry standard for other products, take forever because leadership is so fear-driven. Innovation pace is slow
