Cons
- Most of the board and executives are white males; they talk the diversity talk but definitely don't walk the walk - Formulations run the show: business decisions are based on formulations and very little on input from the other groups (biology, process, registration, analytical, etc) - A lot of corporate communications focus on headquarters when only a small percentage of the company works there
