Pros
- strong solidarity and team spirit within the employees - very interesting product and awesome customers - a great potential when it comes to the core product and the employees - lots of technical challenges - strong culture and values that were keeping everyone motivated...before it disappeared!
Cons
- poor management : the top management rarely truly listen to their employees. Recently, lack of empathy and humanity. - boy's club spirit : difficult for women to be heard from the top management team. - too much confidence given to out-of-the-blue consultants and external strategists. Not enough trust given to the employees that actually know the customers and the product. - not enough recognition for the employees who do the actual work - lack of transparency about the company strategies. - hard work and extra hours (not paid) are the norm. Burn-out among employees is common. Nothing was made to prevent that. - not enough training given to interns or new comers.
