Pros
Hard working colleagues and friends
Cons
No job is perfect. Every position in any company has its fair share of corporate politics and BS. However, hiring a bunch of smart and talented individuals, then failing to implement structure, clear policies or goals will inevitably fail. It’s also a waste of expensive talent. To be agile, you can’t be sloppy, you need to be organized with a clear vision. How can you have clarity if you don’t have transparency or established goals for your departments? How can you advise clients to scale better, be more efficient and agile when your own house is a mess? Do anything by all means necessary to IPO is not a strategy. Stop the unnecessary expense and per diem to fly, wine and dine your favorite employees. This behavior is not contributing positively to the culture or the business.
