- High turnover among both high-performing individual contributors and seasoned leadership. They've struggled with retention of its best talent across the organization.
- While leadership labels it as "SaaS moving fast," the reality is a lack of clear strategy at the Director and VP levels. Constant pivots make it difficult to produce high-quality, sustainable output or see projects through to meaningful completion.
- There is a heavy emphasis on speed and short-term wins. Hard work is generally rewarded with an increased workload rather than career progression or professional investment.
- With an average of one layoff round per year, the environment can get dense. There is little room for mentorship or long-term career development; the focus is entirely on immediate survival rather than building for the future.
- The combination of shifting priorities and lack of support creates a high-stress environment that is difficult to sustain long-term.
