Poor leadership kills business on the outside; zealotry on the inside: opiniones de empleados con el puesto de Damage Control Specialist en ROLI

--Fabulous co-workers – I've never worked with so many talented, smart and hardworking individuals. It's inspiring and amazing to be surrounded by so many great people. The company puts a strong emphasis on creating a supportive community and that really comes across in my day-to-day. --Lots of room to grow – there's a ton of opportunity and space to take ownership within one's role and beyond. Take initiative and ROLI will support you to run with it. --Benefits are competitive and the company genuinely cares about each team member.

--With any growing company, there's a lot of work to be done and not enough time to do it all but I think it comes down to time management and understanding what the priorities are on your plate. If one can do that, then this isn't a huge con. There are times when there are bigger projects that need to be focused on and then my work/life balance can shift a bit but I think that's normal with any company and the pros far outweigh this as a con. There's also a huge sense of accomplishment when I'm part of the team pushing to hit a deadline as I can really see where myself and my team are adding value which is empowering.

There is the potential to work with bright, creative, and friendly people, although by now many employees have been laid off, have left, or are looking for jobs elsewhere. Some but not all products are distinctive and powerful but are hampered by design and quality issues.

Senior management, including especially the CEO, have created more a cult than a culture, one that is manipulative and duplicitous. It is particularly insidious in that while the company portrays itself as progressive, dynamic, innovative, and worker-friendly by doing such things as offering free—although diminishing in quality and quantity—vegetarian lunch, it simultaneously refuses employees raises or promotions and limits their ability to successfully perform their job duties and find career fulfillment. It's characteristic to watch new hires gradually see their aspirations crushed until they are summarily dismissed or find employment elsewhere. The CEO micromanages hardware and software development teams, leading to rampant confusion, rapidly changing priorities, and numerous in-development products left to rot on the vine. The marketing department routinely portrays non-existent functionality and as a result the company over-promises and under-delivers to customers. This trait is apparently endemic to the company as a whole, contributing to what was unfortunately a frankly regrettable portion of my career.
