Pros

Cons

One major concern is the leadership and management approach. There seems to be constant restructuring of processes and responsibilities, which creates confusion among employees. In some cases, important processes are being removed and employees are being pushed into different roles that are unrelated to the positions they were originally hired for. Initially, many employees feel excited about joining the organization because of the company’s reputation and growth opportunities. However, after a few months, people often become confused and frustrated due to the lack of role clarity, frequent changes in responsibilities and uncertain career direction. Another challenge is the lack of structured career progression and skill development. Frequent role changes without proper planning can make employees feel disconnected from their original career path and uncertain about their future within the organization. Over time, this creates stress, lowers motivation and makes it difficult for employees to build a strong professional identity or gain confidence in their long-term growth prospects.
