Pros
Individual colleagues were excellent to work with. Huge amount of talent.
Cons
- Shiny object syndrome with no real consistency to work towards a long term strategy or goal. No clear shared goal, just lots of generalised goals that are fairly standard for any business. Nothing unique or special. No clear reason for being. - Focus is consistently on the latest fad or tactic. - No real commitment to any specific market segment or speciality. - Not enough emphasis on supporting commercial mindedness throughout the team. - Bad financial planning, with multiple mass resignations or firings. - Not enough action, too many meetings and micromanagement. - Always a thirst to use the latest fad and growth hack, instead of committing to sustainable long term growth. Leads to a lack of trust going both ways between leadership and the rest of the team. - Not enough team work between contractors and full and part time employees. Likely due to a complete lack of long term vision and strategy. There is nothing gluing these different segments of the business together and no amount of ‘games nights’ can fix that.
