Lack of Leadership - Anonymous employee CycleHop Employee Review

Very friendly co-workers who were always willing to share knowledge with one another to get the job done.

Bike Sharing as an industry has yet to reach the general public as a viable transportation mode in the US the way it has in Europe. Hopefully this will change as infrastructure such as bike lanes and public outreach increase in the future.

At CycleHop the good comes with the bad. With a young start-up culture CycleHop is growing rapidly which means opportunities for growth and your ability make a contribution to the company larger then what is laid out in your job description are abundant. Its structure is very horizontal at the middle management level and suggestions for improvement are often listened to and implemented quickly.

That same young start up culture is where many of the items on the cons list are derived. Cyclehop lacks structure and many employees wear a few hats putting a good amount of strain on middle management. A big reason why there is opportunity as mentioned before is because there is a lack of leasdership as a result of this strain that seems to impact every market equally. The lack of resources and a continual focus on what’s next instead of what is exasperates this issue.
