Vague Strategic Direction: It often felt like the company's overall mission or "north star" was unclear or poorly communicated. This ambiguity can make it difficult to align individual and team efforts effectively towards common goals.
Disconnected Teams: As a largely remote workforce, teams can feel quite siloed and disconnected from one another. Building strong cross-functional relationships and a sense of shared culture can be challenging.
Understaffing: Teams often seem stretched thin, leading to heavy workloads and potential burnout. Being consistently understaffed impacts project timelines and overall team morale.
