Pros

Fun, has a great deal to offer in terms of autonomy and new opportunities. If you propose something that sounds good, people will at least listen, it may not become part of the strategy, but it will get a fair shot.

Cons

Serious lack of direction from CEO level. Very ambitious Senior manager level, but the lack of ultimate direction (Should be provieded by CEO) means the company is constantly moving in 6 different directions, sometimes they may overlap, sometimes they won't. Creates genuine problems for revenue, ultimately leading to low levels of job security.

Hello, Thanks for your review. We’re passionate about having trust in our employees and giving them the ownership and autonomy to do their best work and continue to invest in our leadership and managers. As a high growth scale up we do often need to pivot, which means adapting to changing situations which can affect the direction at times. We are building our 2024 company objectives in line with the company strategy and will be working with each of the teams on how they can contribute, which in turn will provide a clear direction. In our Q3 engagement survey, 89% of people agreed that they know how their work contributes to the goals of Runa, but I would love to organise some time with you to find out how we can improve in your experience. We are always striving to get better and take the feedback on board. Please reach out on oliver.lochhead@runa.io Many thanks, Oli Senior Talent Manager
