Vantaggi
Great pay and benefits; senior leaders who can roll up their sleeves and get the job done themselves if needed. Could be a good match for people who like to be told what to do and exactly how to do it, with no desire to innovate.
Svantaggi
An older, industrial company that is that is going through an identity crisis. Matrix organizational hierarchy with ambiguous accountability and limited corporate-wide policies/processes. Leadership often says one thing but does another. Not the right fit for high performing leaders who are accustomed to having ownership over their own organization. Seems great until the pressure is on then can become toxic with a pretentious, arrogant, condescending, passive-aggressive culture lacking trust. Direction from the top down is that of micromanagement - consistency is valued more than innovation. Long hours and being in-office are equated with hard work. Success theater is common – “the boss is always right” mentality - but the emperor has no clothes. Leadership is overwhelmed, not given enough resources to be successful, and are suffering from burnout. Big new projects are assigned to lower-level employees who are basically set up to fail while executives perform repetitive tasks which occupy them so much, they are not able to fully inspire and support the next generation of leaders.
