Pros

There are a lot of great things happening with many new and exciting projects. The challenges are endless. Market perception is great at the moment.

Cons

Empowerment is very low and direction is ambiguous.

Processes are confusing and add layers of bureaucracy.

Unlimited PTO is a catch-22 and benefits the company more than an individual.

Advice to Management

Uncontained aggressive growth can do more harm than benefit.

Positive perception of the company is skewed towards certain functional groups.

Create simple systems and processes that achieve an organizational goal and ensure proper training.

Revert to traditional PTO, which will actually encourage more work/life balance.

Allow for an anonymous feedback system that will encourage employee participation without repercussions.
