Pros

- Great Christmas gifts - It give a right sense of what a company shouldn't be

Cons

Very weak leadership. Strategy changes with the latest wimp of an obscolete CEO - Unable to maintain focus on execution; - Client Panels are used simply to convince employees how awesome the strategy is: negative feedback is neglected - Base salary is weak and variable compensation is unsignificant with the new compensation policy - It is hard to believe on company values; it still needs to find a purpose that is put in practice, besides stock performance - Some Analysts are not focused on client value but rather on their own ego
