Kontras
-Growing pains associated with change have a negative impact on certain individuals -The career path presents a number of 'first time managers' and that's positive, but has its challenges associated with it. The management/leadership culture has room to grow but is not likely to affect the company outlook. -The executive team is evolving, in a good way, but that changes the landscape in a way that affects many -The employee perks can be perceived as 'low', though this is a strategic decision to offer better comp -The competitive and high-performing nature of a start-up can create tension for everyone; Datameer is still in the process of building a professional/formal manager training. Because this is incomplete, this is an ongoing (though temporary) issue
