Pros
- Interesting product and market potential - Highly competent colleagues and strong capabilities across the organisation. - Good conditions to work with growth at scale in a complex digital product environment.
Kontras
- Leadership culture is strongly control- and visibility-driven, with limited trust in teams to manage outcomes independently. - High volume of reporting, check-ins and alignment meetings significantly reduces time for focused, value-creating work. - Low psychological safety in practice. Raising risks or concerns is often experienced as costly rather than constructive. - Important decisions are frequently made outside or above teams, which weakens ownership, accountability and engagement. - Clear gap between the stated ambition of empowerment and how teams are actually enabled day to day.
