High scale chaos. Snaffles it's own profit and growth opportunities from the top down.
Pros
They are being brave with the product and market strategy.
Cons
Leadership changes company direction constantly and at a whim. The investors pull rank and everything switches again. The culture is lip service. If measured in actions, there's rounds of redundancies, company-wide announcements there'll be no more, then another round a couple of months later. Value seems to be measured in actions, not outcome. Since I've worked there no one has asked how I feel about my role, how I'd like to develop, mentioned learning, growth, or checked engagement. For a learning company embracing the talent flywheel and acquiring employee engagement and performance management platforms, the irony is all there. It's all surface level bluster. Trust is low. Engagement is low. And people are neatly working in their hierarchical corners unable to budge or truly bring their skills to the role. Spends on events are gigantic, then cuts are made in the weeks after all over the shop. It's a company that over blows it's vision with high spend and too many parallel tasks all happening at the same time, and then disarms itself from getting there because it's unfocused, illogical and constantly changing strategies that overspend and under deliver. It is the least efficient, most traditional 'modern' company I've worked for, and it doesn't seem to see how it holds itself back.
