Cons
High staff turnover because of fickle, ego-driven founder and working environment that does not support or respect the rest of the staff. Founder's syndrome is a problem still. Inexperienced leadership is also a liability. Unclear tactical vision.
Staff is mostly young and dedicated to the mission plus willing to work very long hours.
Cons
