Growth focused in the expense of culture and people

Pros

- A truly international environment - Breakfast, fruits, yogurt provided - An effort to establish company values and structure (but it's slow coming) - Generally nice people - Politics can be challenged

Cons

- Lacking any initiative to drive good culture - Transparency is difficult to attain, therefore a sense of ownership of the product is also difficult to cultivate - Lacking any seniority and the ability to properly learn or be mentored by others - Poor vision and mission for the product and company overall. (e.g. We are told that we give value to our white label partners by saving jobs of journalists BUT to the expense of users who experience bad/misleading content through our platform. In the last 6 months prior to my last day, there was no strategy to address the quality of the content we provide to these users who are the main drivers of our revenue. )

Thank you for the feedback! “Being open and direct” and “Empowering great teams” are 2 of our 12 Leadership Principles guiding us on a daily basis and which we are continuously working on implementing even more in our culture. Especially our company culture is something we are normally really proud of, so we really regret it did not live up to your expectations during your time here… Your feedback has been taking into account. I hope you will stop by for a coffee or a beer at our Friday beer-o-clock's to keep updated on our future development. All the best, Gina
