Svantaggi
Prioritization is difficult; there are often so many projects/changes taking place all the time - it can be draining and demoralizing when so many things are considered top priority. Limited resources to manage the above across all functions - which makes it difficult to get things done People are spread out geographically - telecons are the way most of us get things done, which makes it hard to build relationships and influence results. Because everyone is so busy, it can be hard to plan and get results in meetings even for the most organized. Tardiness to meetings is too widely accepted (in my opinion) - but that's understandble when you are often double and triple booked, back-to-back all day long. Ambiguous, unstructured culture - i.e. not process-oriented (it's a Brand company) - which is only a con for those coming from the GE six-sigma type corporate environment
