- Understaffed (in my opinion) : this leads to a shaky onboarding experience, too much context switching/multitasking (leads to mistakes), and designers completing administrative tasks / admin completing designs
- Lack of transparency: I used to not consider this while looking for a job, but not knowing what the company profit/budget is leads to a lot of misunderstanding between staff and management in things like budget / cost / time and no "big picture" thinking. I think it also leads to apathy among staff & a generally neutral to negative outlook towards work and projects
