Pros

They are performing very well and know that DNA will slow down at some point so they are implementing strategies to continue to grow without too risky of moves.

Cons

Archaic systems and nobody wants to fix the problem. They just have a "why bother" attitude. A company survey showed that 40% approve of the C-suite, 35% think they will actually fix the problems, and 35% believe they will take action from the survey results. It is really difficult to be motivated with such poor leadership and making decisions to implement broken systems to get your job done.
