Wrong People in Lead Roles - Software Developer Aquatic Informatics Employee Review

We do have a great location, leadership and office. We definitely agree there - but we are sorry and surprised to see your “Cons” comments as they are very inconsistent with the experience and opinions of the vast majority of the team. But clearly your experience has been different and we’d really like to find out why and see if we can help. Have you talked about your concerns with someone within AI? If not, we’d really encourage you to do so. We aren’t being controlled by one or two individuals. Scrum teams do their own solution designs and decide how much they can get into each release. Those of us on scrum teams challenge each other and try to let the best ideas bubble up. It is usually the person with the most knowledge about a topic that influences a given decision most – not the person with a particular title or the loudest voice. Yes, we have strong opinions, and some loud voices – but if they don’t hold up under scrutiny, their ideas don’t get implemented. We are a flat organization. We feel empowered to come up with our own ideas and make decisions. At the same time, we want others to find flaws in our ideas and our work – before our customers do. We do this by encouraging everyone to review and constructively criticize our work. This does cause creative tension at times – but we think this is the best way to continuously improve the value and quality of our individual work and our products. Regarding our job security – we always have more customer wishes and opportunities than we can possibly tackle. Our business is forecasted to continue its rapid growth. We are hiring!
