A good learning experience - Software Developer SkyCiv Engineering Employee Review

Thank you for the review. We don't take this feedback lightly, and we agree with some of these comments. Having a flat structure with a strong focus on product means the management team can get stuck in the weeds and planning could definitely be improved. This is something we are working on so we really appreciate the comments. In terms of the autonomy required, it doesn't suit everyone. We have found people either strive, grow and learn with the freedom and responsibilities we provide or they struggle. I believe we provide a good amount of support (with weekly one-on-ones, team stand-ups, link with a mentor, direct communication with directors). It's possible you may have missed out on some recent changes in culture - with Employee Share Plan, reimbursement for computers and equipment, revenue share/bonuses at Product Manager level - sounds like you might not have been around to see those. I also want to mention we don't reverse engineer products, but we do use demo and trial software of other products to test and verify results which is I believe to be common practice in the industry. Your comments on communication are fair enough and it's certainly an ongoing challenge with those working remotely. This is something we will continue to work on and build into our future plans. The flat org structure is something we are planning for in 2023 to take management 'out of the weeds'. I would be more than happy to meet and learn more about where we can improve; this would be very helpful. Our employment retention and anonymous surveys are very positive, so we are truly disappointed that someone who was with us for more than 3 years didn't have more positives to share. Thank you again for taking the time to give this feedback and helping us to improve!
