Svantaggi
There is a definite hierarchy and you are expected to be loyal or you will face negative consequences. Senior management (with the notable exception of Dann Adams) is not there to help you, you are there to help them. Never, ever ask a hard question or criticize senior management in any way. The bonus system drives a lot of behavior and many times it conflicts with company and personal goals. As a result, the company has a sharp focus on short-term results, not on building value nor on achieving market share.
