Flexibility and a solid hybrid work setup. You also develop strong stress-management skills — sometimes together with a few early grey hairs.

This review is not written lightly; it’s simply the only way to make sure certain concerns are taken into account.

During my time at the company, some processes within the Marketing function have often created slowdowns and frustration. The current structure centralises too many decisions in a single point, which results in bottlenecks, lack of clarity, and frequent changes without a clear direction or standards the team can rely on.

There is often an expectation for others to execute ideas without the necessary guidance, context, or support. Internal feedback tends to be negative rather than constructive, which makes collaboration harder and affects overall team morale.

Given the strategic role of this area, one would expect a facilitative leadership style that brings clarity and inspires teams. Instead, the current approach often leads to delays, uncertainty, and a noticeable impact on motivation.

In summary, there is a clear misalignment between this leadership style and the company’s values of agility, collaboration, and empowerment.

During hiring processes, members of the leadership team frequently participate in interviews. It would be important for the company to reinforce people-management skills in certain leadership roles to avoid unnecessary strain on teams. The organisation has strong potential, but it needs a management culture that prioritises support, clarity, and sustainable workloads.
