DC Byte Reviews

Micromanagement Olympics. Simple decisions take scenic routes through multiple layers of discussion, alignment, re-alignment, and then alignment about alignment, often landing exactly where they started. Administrative overload. A surprising amount of time is spent on repetitive internal processes rather than meaningful or intellectually engaging work. If you enjoy bureaucracy as a hobby, you will thrive. Inconsistent standards. Expectations around flexibility and accountability appear to vary depending on who you are or which team you are on. Policies feel less like policies and more like suggestions applied selectively. Sales above everything. Revenue growth is the north star. Operational strain, sustainability, and internal capacity often feel secondary. Commitments are made confidently. The downstream impact is delegated accordingly. High turnover presented as growth. The company emphasizes expansion. There is indeed constant movement. Decision paralysis disguised as collaboration. Straightforward calls can take weeks of discussion. Progress often waits for consensus from people who were not initially involved and cannot move forward without it.

Growing company so lots of change
