The Hands-Off Management Style at Tiny
Gwen Hoffmeyer shares her experience working at Tiny, emphasizing the company's hands-off management approach. Hired to contribute to equity research, she found the environment to be quite independent, often likening it to being left alone in the desert with limited resources.
