Svantaggi
The only way up...is out. Company will not create an Assoc Dir level so senior managers cannot advance. Many managers and senior managers have left to take director-level positions at other companies. Sites in Bay Area and Cambridge expanding to support research, but not development; backfill for development positions is slow to non-existent at these sites. CEO is a "numbers guy" and while the stock price is healthy, he has NO IDEA what it took to get it that way. He'd lose his mind if he had to work on a marketing submission. Their plans for streamlining and finding efficiencies sound noble on paper, but that's just corporate-speak for "doing more with less." Company can sometimes get in their own way with layers of governance and oversight that prolong activities.
