Pros
- The people were quiet nice and upbeat - It is feasible to build professional interpersonal relationship with higherups and cross-function team members (one on one transfer knowledge, informal performance review, etc) - Replacement off day if employee were to work over the weekend/work overtime for a special event (but this is often based on the dynamic between subordinate & their direct report)
Cons
Unclear & ambiguous workflow - There are no clear job descriptions for each role, so it is more than likely for people with the same role to have completely different jobs. - Since there are no clear job description for each role, it is very common for each department to pass over a task to other department/people. - The company is in its rapid grow phase, so there are still a lot of new departments/teams. Which led to the leaders & team members to not have a clear SLA. It is also common for Hypefast to have everchanging systems and workflows. - It's no surprise how fast the workflow in a startup is. Taking the complicated bureaucracy into consideration, a lot of problems that arises were treated as a ticking time-bomb, instead of an issue that needed to be sorted out carefully. This resulted in a lot of uninformed and not well-thought out decisions tangled in a lot of miscommunications. No onboarding process - This leads to having no clear job description which leads to overlapping tasks and workflow (even with people from other functions). - A knowledge gap between team members is resulted as an absence of a standardized onboarding process. The nature of a young company - Considering how new Hypefast is, a lot of the employees and leaders are also of young age. This results in a lot of inexperienced employees. - There were no KPIs. It is very unclear as to how one person can get promoted. High turnover - This often resulted in a short period of handover process
