Scale Limitations
May not have the resources, manpower, or infrastructure of bigger players.
Can struggle with very large or enterprise-level projects.
Market Competition
Competes with thousands of other software houses offering similar services. Hard to differentiate without niche expertise.
Employee Challenges
May face workload pressure, long hours, or lack of structured processes (common in small-to-mid software houses).
Limited career growth paths compared to global IT firms.
