Loads of potential, but temperamental
Pros
Really exciting product with lots of commercial potential. There is a good network of colleagues with open minds, fresh ideas and expertise to offer.
Cons
Very high staff turnover, particularly in commercial functions of the business. Senior commercial managers are very set in their ways and closed to new ideas. Lots of internal micro management which creates unhelpful diversions and delays in projects. As a 'family business' there is very little diversity and inclusion, particularly in senior management and near zero opportunity for career progression. Top level decisions are often made by senior staff in secrecy with no communication with other stakeholders in the business until the last minute. Staff benefits are stripped back to bare minimum and there is no encouragement for in-person socials or team building. The working culture is built on always very last minute projects and tasks set with unrealistic deadlines.
