- Lacks clear org design
- Communication is a weak point and needs work. Encourage more people to work in open channels and not siloes
- As the org got bigger, pace slowed due to bureaucracy over time.
- Accountability is often blurry and pushed onto executors rather than accountability at the top consistently
- People happiness is not massively cared for en mass
- Burnout exists in the company and I was in an out of burnout for probably half my time there
- Short term growth often trumps all. Strategic long term initiatives are executed with a short term approach often too
- Stakeholder management is a big part of the job, sometimes slowing down pace. You have to be on top of comms, that's natural. If you are, then often this is fine
- The company has not had enough big, meaningful financial failures to take a step back and have a reset on culture and ways of working. If revenue continues to constantly climb, then people issues become essentially collateral damage to that, and it will begin to hurt more and more over time.
- Failure could be viewed in a more positive light. Essential to growth. Reward the learning, move forward with new knowledge. Fear of failure trickles all the way down and kills creativity and confidence
- Talent retention becoming more of an issue over time
- Salaries could be more streamlined and the people whom get paid more often simply make their own case in a more persuasive and bullish manner
