My criticisms are mostly short-lived, with corrections and adjustments happening frequently. I have concerns that the culture can be sustained in the face of becoming publicly traded and rapid expansion through acquisitions.
Career paths are largely undefined, with some team members navigating better than others. Given the origins of the company, it is no surprise that there are close personal connections among team members with the longest lengths of service, which can make organizational changes seem cliquish. Recent acquisitions may offer more opportunities, but will also muddy the waters for the short term.
