Loft Orbital Solutions reviews

Struggling to transition for start up mentality to growth/scale up mode. Sometimes it can be difficult to map my day to day work and priorities to lofts vision for the future. I think leadership could provide more clarity on their vision for the future and spend more time on aligning teams across the company. It seems we have a leadership team that is too large to be effective and of course that slows down the rest of the org and creates inefficiency at our level. Sometimes hours and days can be really long and challenging - especially this last year. Semi green leadership team + first time founders has some drawbacks. They seem to take forever to learn from our mistakes and unfortunately I don't see them investing in their growth and development as leaders. That is the only piece that really disappoints me at loft. It can seem like leadership holds people to a different standard (of performance and execution) than what they hold themselves to. I wish they would invite more feedback and share their own failures and development goals. This is particularly challenging with engineering leaders who have a lot of autonomy and influence but don't manage people or teams. Their roles are ambiguous and vague and that creates a lot of confusion within engineering.

Ambiguity is real- roles and responsibilities can shift quickly so must be comfortable to adapt and be flexible Processes are still maturing- processes become live before fully formed, so may have more gaps and improvements identified post role out and this may result in lots of updates or change
