Cons: - Lack of feedback from mentor/coach
- Hard to see what’s going on across the business as it’s getting very big and growing very fast
- No real structure in place so I don’t know how to progress further in my career or how I’m currently tracking
- There’s so many new people it’s sometimes hard to keep up
- It feels like the tenured people have more “status” because they’ve been here for longer
