fast growing company, unavoidable growing pains

Pros

should be able to have good opportunities to be promoted if you are doing well (have good performance review by a good manager who gets along with you), and fit in. compensation is reasonable. Good cafe, free parking.

Cons

new teams are established and managers tend to make arbitrary judgement on right/wrong people to hire. When hired "wrong" people at a high level (high pay as well) who don't perform accordingly, they change strategy by starting everyone at a lower level - seems like an unfair punishment to new hires to me.

Pros

you can take on as many projects as you want in order to learn. excellent learning opportunities. learn as much as you can for as long as you can tolerate it then move on.

Cons

some managers and directors are not that great. some were put into positions without business or management experience. mid line managers did not co-operate as much as would have liked to see. many of them were out for themselves.

Pros

Opportunities to participate in many activities that would normally be out of scope in my role.

Cons

Ineffective recruiting and filling of needed roles, poor preparation and training for new staff, chaotic environment and exhausted employees. Negative reinforcement and threats from leaders rather than support and preparation.
