Vantaggi
Overtures made to improving processes and using data intelligently. There are some managers who genuinely believe new approaches and ideas are valued and work to design and implement them. These employees are good mentors and team members.
Svantaggi
Unfortunately, those who constitute the pros above are few and the executive management discards their proactive advice as insubordination. I was surprised to find such limited corporate vision and adherence to an outmoded hierarchy with such pervasive secrecy and paranoia. Yes, this is a complex business, with tight margins and deadlines. All the more reason to foster and support effective teamwork instead of applying "The Mushroom Principle", (keep them in the dark and feed them fecal matter).
