Vantaggi
Lots of talented, creative people working very hard, trying to make a living and support their families. Great ideas abound, with most people at the specialist to director level giving their best efforts to move the company back into the black. It could have been great.
Svantaggi
Some SVPs & EVPs won't manage, but keep taking the money, backing poor managers whose primary contribution seems to be a near-expert brown-nosing technique. Ego stroking is quickly lapped up, even when reports do very little but take credit for the work performed by their teams. Weird and unacceptable behaviors are tolerated, even protected, and employees who speak up and try to make things better are often marginalized and shown the door. Management should be ashamed, and top leadership likely has no idea things are so bad just a couple of rungs below them on the corporate ladder.
