Kontras
As is common for most small companies, those who founded the company cannot seem to stick to their core competency (creativity) and let people who know business run the business. They switch gears on an almost daily basis, never letting yesterday's great idea come to fruition. Almost every Monday felt like they were trying to reinvent the company. They pride themselves on being nimble and moving quickly but the result is just a lot of jerky motion without every getting anywhere. Top management seem to micromanage other departments, making everyone afraid to do what they were hired to do. No one felt empowered. Now everyone just waits for someone to tell them what to do because the boss always wants it their way or no way. Period.
