Thank you for your review. I am going to answer this objectively, and not as if it were "fake news", or a disgruntled former employee or competitor trying to sabotage us, etc.
We have a very simple company culture, there is a Hedgeable 10 Commandments posted on the wall when you walk in.
1 - No Closed Door Meetings
2 - Flat Company Structure
3 - No Suits Allowed
4 - Work Should Be Fun
5 - Challenge Everything
6 - Never Settle for Mediocrity
7 - No B.S.
8 - Integrity & Honesty are Paramount
9 - No Clock Watchers
10 - Build Products People Want
We have regular HR reviews with every team member, including separate ones with management (which Mike did just a few weeks ago and many of these topics were covered). Every team member is asked for open and honest feedback in all of these sessions. I am looking through our notes and not one of the things in your response is in there. Therefore I must surmise that you are blatantly violating 4 of the 10 Company Commandments (#1, #5, #7, #8), and only privately under the guise of anonymity are posting these remarks. This is extremely disappointing and is the kind of behavior that we ran away from in corporate america. You will never be reprimanded for following the commandments, making suggestions, and raising concerns at Hedgeable, quite the opposite.
Again, let's assume this isn't fake news - have you ever suggested ways to improve things you foresee as issues (suggesting better deadlines, recommending product roadmap software, recommending hiring an executive search firm)? The answer is no, because we have it nowhere in any of our meeting notes. This now violates a fifth company commandment (#5 Never Settle for Mediocrity).
These Commandments are not meant for marketing; they are part of the company culture, and if you do not believe they should apply to you, we respectfully believe this isn't a long-term fit for your career.
