Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - Anonymous employee MycoWorks Employee Review

Well…there was always some sort of rift between the Operations team and the R&D team. It led to three “waves” of resignations from those in R&D over the span of two years. Initially, it seemed like typical work misunderstanding and drama, but it became increasingly clear that the company’s C-Suite did not care for whatever business strategy R&D brought to the table. Not only has this led to resignations, but the ability to understand and improve the product has been severely hampered. As mentioned, the company got more structured as it grew, and while this brought benefits, it also brought disadvantages. The roles got less exciting. The ability to iterate fast grew more difficult, because there were so many people and documents, and even if you did those right and got approval to move forward, the Chief Manufacturing/Operating Officer micromanaged so much to the point entire plans would get squashed.
