Cons
The challenges faced appear to largely stem from the organisation's struggle to transition from a start-up-like culture to that of a larger corporation. While ownership and autonomy are highly valued and encouraged, achieving them in practice is challenging within a growing, relatively large organisation. Despite good intentions, launching new projects often proves difficult due to the need to navigate multiple layers of bureaucracy across various departments. This creates a paradox: while there is significant red tape to manage, projects frequently lack a clear owner, making it difficult to move quickly and efficiently.
