Highgrowth enterprises are not easy places to live. The pressure is relentless. Performance is aggressively managed. There is no let up. I have seen employees depart after a short time because the intensity and pace just wasnt their cup of tea. Culture is not about making people feel good per se, its about enabling the mission with the behaviors and values that serve that purpose. Its unlikely that a strong, effective, and missionaligned culture will please everybody.
