Pros
In my 15 years of work experience so far, Tech in Asia has been the only place where I saw the founder and CEO of the company putting happiness of employees as a key measure of success. The idea of a manager as a facilitator and not the traditional boss was a new experience for me and I found that very empowering. I have had a lot of opportunities to learn at the company. Despite a virtual office with employees across different countries, I felt a strong sense of ownership as well as appreciation throughout my tenure.
Cons
At some point, if an employee feels stuck, lost, or underutilized, it will be great if leaders help him or her get unstuck. Maybe move them to another team or another role. That is worth the effort if those employees have performed well in the past, have strengths that could help the company, and are also committed.
