- Being private-equity owned by investors focused on short-term exit can weigh heavily on staff morale, given the constant emphasis on trimming costs and optimizing valuation, though this is normal for any company undergoing disruption
- Historically, the company has focused on B2B marketing to venues and operators, so there has been less focus on consumer brand, which can be frustrating for Marketing and anyone focused on driving external partnerships or conversations, though there are real strides being made here recently
- Recent merger and dual company / product structure sometimes creates air of distrust and rivalry. As integration continue to play itself out, I'd expect a stronger sense of alignment and overall unity
