Cool Concept. Poor Management - R&D Engineer Actuation Lab Employee Review

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased to understand that you feel you are given the freedom to tackle problems without restriction. Our first core value at Actuation Lab is “Learn and Adapt” and we believe one of the key ways we can achieve this is by giving employees decision making abilities without micro-management. We absolutely acknowledge however that too much freedom can risk leading to a chaotic feeling environment, so thank you for your feedback. We are now taking greater care to communicate top company goals regularly, so employees are clear on how their work contributes to the company direction and have now developed an ISO9001 accredited quality management system, which is helping to add stability. Warm regards, Simon Bates CEO, Actuation Lab

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased to understand that you felt you were given the freedom to tackle problems without being micro-managed in your approach. We trust our employees, and believe one of the core ways we move fast is to learn from different perspectives and approaches within the team. At the same time, we recognise that balancing autonomy with adequate support is crucial, and we are actively working to ensure everyone feels supported by developing a robust management structure, while retaining the independence that fosters innovation. Ensuring a company is well funded while tackling important technical breakthroughs is one of the biggest challenges a startup will face, and we are continually exploring opportunities to strengthen our financial position and support ongoing innovation. We are pleased to have recently closed and investment round, been awarded a significant R&D grant and have some key contracts on the horizon. Warm regards, Simon Bates CEO, Actuation Lab
