Svantaggi
Extremely hard to get rid of poor performers. So many just riding the wave. Difficulty making hard calls below the SVP level. As a result, it takes ages to make big decisions. Staying too long can make network dry up. There is a baseline anxiety about talking with companies outside of Apple. Deep specialization is hard to apply to smaller companies Perf process is confusingly bad for such an established company. Some managers are really mediocre and keep failing up in spite of sucking as managers. Brand is so established that taking real is tricky.
