Cons:
• Noticeable favoritism toward certain departments, leaving others undervalued.
• Core values — simplicity, transparency, ownership, innovation — are stated but rarely demonstrated in practice.
• Cultural initiatives connected to external philosophies are heavily promoted internally and can feel obligatory rather than voluntary. Designers have been expected to contribute to related projects outside regular hours without fair recognition, which blurs professional boundaries and leads to frustration.
• Employees who question internal practices may feel discouraged or unsupported.
• Leadership often struggles to provide clear creative direction or structured mentoring, relying too much on external references instead of internal guidance.
• No consistent KPI tracking or formal performance reviews; evaluations often depend on project availability rather than individual performance.
• Business development inconsistency affects workflow and growth opportunities for the design teams.
