Vantaggi
On the product side, it's about climate and ESG. In the midst of it, it's data. But inside, where employees are, it's all about managing. Layers and layers of management, where responsibilities are blurred and all you know for sure is who you report to. Everything else is just grey area. Actual job? Mostly meetings after meetings. To handle work? No: to manage. Meetings to manage, meetings to manage meetings, meetings to manage how to report to managers, and so on. Most of the though data work is offset to second-tier locations and the 90% of higher management (VP and above) remains static. And I mean static in every possible way.
Svantaggi
It's a lost opportunity and a load of resources wasted when a company like this, with 1/5 of its current management staff, could actually push the same outcome and be way more nimble. But somewhere along the line it's decided that it's fine to overcomplicate even the slightest available process. Ah, and there's reorganizations every 4-6 months, so it's like a non-written policy at this point.
