Pros
Like any start-up, we’re figuring out a lot and finding balance to positively impact the people and the awesome product being built — an AI operating system for government financial intelligence. It’s a wide cultural team, with breadth of experience across Engineering, Design, Business, and People, spanning the USA (New York, Denver) and the UK (London). The leadership team does care about their people but, like many leaders in the stages of launching, they’re juggling a lot and communications are a work in progress. For me, having been a People professional for a long time, the intent at this stage is a very good start. I also personally like that this is not your traditional start-up: we are building a global business, which requires knowing how to lay the foundation and structure. Yes, some may ask ''you are small'', but I would say it’s about assurance, commitment, stability, and key foundations for scale — many start-ups in my experience fail because they don’t take that into account.
Cons
- Consistency of Comms - Giving more autonomy - Diversity (though a working progress)
