- Things are always busy. Leadership does not turn away work, even when the team is fully utilized or short staffed. “We’ll figure it out” isn’t a sustainable approach to team management.
- Work life balance leans towards always on. There are many team members that work late nights/ weekends which perpetuates this imbalance.
- There are no physical “products” or recurring, light-lift service offerings, which means the business is solely dependent on people. Scaling the business will require a lot of high caliber talent in its current state.
- Learning is expected to be self-directed and involves reading verbose deliverables/documents that lack streamlined thought and cohesion. Have you ever tried learning from things that don’t make sense?
- Internal initiatives are encouraged, on top of already full client workloads, which contributes to a frenetic work environment and division of efforts.
