While on the financial and business side, the company seems on track to continue growing; for the individuals in the company, it seems like growing within the company is not much of an option. The company takes pride in a mostly-flat management structure, which encourages this feeling of lack of career mobility. Also, the company is run very top-down, which can work with a less flat management structure, but in a wide company structure, it leads to very few decision makers controlling the workflow of many. This is especially apparent within the product and design realms of the company as one or two key stakeholders structure workflow of the entire design team. This issue trickles down further to the development team who constantly work with these disempowered and highly-controlled designers to create someone else's vision of the product. This leads to much 'waiting on approval' and 'let me check with' conversations that lead to a lot of wasted time and effort throughout the company.
