- Leadership seems lost and out of their depth. It feels like we generically follow competitors, and as a result enter extremely competitive markets with little to no thought. - We've changed from a startup focused at trying to be good at one thing to let's be everything to everyone, throw it at the wall and see what sticks. It's the exact opposite messaging the founders had initially, and it's scary how quickly they've talked themselves into this and are making investments to build anything and everything. - Leadership is the cause of a lot of chaos due to poor coordination, constant changes, and poor communication. Wouldn't be so bad if the changes were good but more often than not they're random and create more problems that need to be solved, which people work tirelessly to solve only to find out leadership decided that it isn't important anymore and it's on to the next idea (while usually blaming others as to why it didn't work out). - Budgets were slashed since layoffs because of the leadership's failure to keep an eye on things. It's happening again with a surge in growth/spending/hiring built on hopes and dreams, but little real execution to prove it's justified and won't just end up in layoffs again. - They look for any excuse not to give increases in salary or promotions, again probably to save money. - They don't care about burning out their teams, have done so regularly, and the answer to that is - we're now a "high performance" culture. In other words, I don't care you burned yourself out trying to make this work, you should be working harder (and by the way, no raise for you!). - Revenue targets seem not to be based in reality - Ownership is often misused as a value, frequently by managers. Instead of taking ownership, they push things off on other people and then tell them to "take ownership"
