Pros

good atmosphere, professional, not a lot of BS, very fair.

Cons

technology bottlenecks, bringing ideas that you think can help the firm but require any technological effort are not appreciated or ignored.

Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear that you think it’s a good working environment. However, I’m sorry to hear that you feel like your ideas are ignored. Our goal is definitely to create an environment where everyone can contribute to our efforts and the business. We know we still have some work to do here. We’d really value your insights & we do definitely want to hear your ideas. I would like to ask you to reach out to me directly to talk more about your feedback and share any ideas you have on how we can be doing this better. Thanks again for your feedback. Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear that you think it’s a good working environment. However, I’m sorry to hear that you feel like your ideas are ignored. As discussed more recently in our monthly company all hands meetings we make a conscious decision to not work on every tech idea we have. We want to run lean and efficient and that requires prioritizing where we spend our resources. So although our goal is to create an environment where everyone can contribute ideas in reality only the cream of the crop often make it to development. We’d really value your insights & we do definitely want to hear your ideas and most importantly how they could add value over the longer term. Given this information perhaps we will work on your ideas next. In addition we would love to hear any feedback on how we can our prioritization process more transparent. Thanks again for your comments. Kris
