Pros
Historically had a strong culture of employee advocacy. Good benefits for those in established roles.
Cons
Homogeneous Leadership: There is a visible "glass ceiling" for anyone who doesn't fit the specific demographic of the current executive team. The lack of diversity in thought and background is directly impacting the company’s ability to innovate. Meritocracy Concerns: Promotion cycles often feel like they favor internal "boys' club" networking over actual KPIs or qualifications. This has led to a layer of middle and upper management that lacks the technical or strategic expertise to course-correct. Executive Disconnect: While the company loses market share and profits dwindle, leadership appears insulated by significant compensation packages and bonuses. There is a palpable shift from "taking care of the people" to "protecting the executive interests".
