Leadership is behind the times.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work remotely. Lots of focus on culture.

Cons

No strategy to the changes they are suggesting. Chaos everywhere. New restructures all over. Leadership seems to be shooting from the hip and trying to catch up but certainly not leading.

Pros

Mostly fun work atmosphere. If you're female or a minority, you're golden. If you're an older white male, not so much.

Cons

I've worked at lots of companies and never seen one that has as many reorganizations. These reorgs seem mostly aimless, though Sr Mgt justifies them as adapting. Mostly Sr Mgt reorgs to justify their own position and embellish their own fiefdoms. There's always employee casualties as there's little effort paid to finding other spots within the company.
