Kontras
- Too much to do in too little time
- Understaffed and scalability issues in some areas with slow backfilling of critical positions
- Organization feels bottom-heavy
- Not all team members pull their fair share of the weight
- Lingering and unrefined startup-like processes / mentalities can contribute to growing pains and some disorganization
- Technical documentation can be lacking
- Onboarding and team building aren't the best but improving
- Being a small company may lead to infrequent situations where emergencies and escalations are potentially catastrophic and thus require extra hours or weekends to resolve

- HR is lacking albeit improving
