Pros

Generally nice people to work with, hard working, intelligent.

Cons

Extremely chaotic environment with constant changing priorities. The co- founders are not "people leaders" to say the least and likely should have stuck to building rather than leading an organization of 200. If it is was not so chaotic, it would almost be comical. Probably a really good time for the Board to start taking a closer look at just how well this organization is being lead. EQ and skills you would generally see in a CEO are not present. Leadership and thoughtful decision making is lacking and general morale amongst employees is at a massive low. Very much a say "yes" to anything culture even when it does not make sense. Constant pressure to cut corners to appease clients. One of the co-founders should focus more on how he is managing and leading and less getting involved with issues his direct reports and others were brought in to handle. Essentially no culture, constantly changing organization chart, lack of respect for employees in general.

Pros

A culture like this means people learn fast, fix weaknesses quickly, and do not cling to ego or past decisions. Speed matters because slow teams lose opportunities and waste resources. Quality matters because sloppy output multiplies long term cost. Output driven means ideas and talk mean nothing unless they convert into real value. Growth mindset ties all of this together because without it people resist feedback, avoid discomfort, and drag down the team.

Cons

Growth mindset demands constant self scrutiny.
