Svantaggi
In technical areas at least the result of the poorly managed merger and a frankly hiedously handled series of reorganisations has left barely anything apart from a few small politically supported teams and groups of long term employees waiting for retirement, redunency or just trapped with no better place to go depending on location. Political fighting within the upper tiers of management seems to be subsiding down from Machiavellian levels to reveal that middle/lower management aren't really kept in the picture and hence aren't singing from the same hymm sheet at all. This has caused faults mostly along regional lines with each office trying to carve off roles and responsibilities from each other. In the meantime technical debt has accrued and obvious preferences or at least neglect in certain areas also risen, this seems to stem from difficult decisions being avoided whilst management felt at risk or were too busy just stabing each other in the back. Basically it's a bit of a disaster, as a coal face worker if your boss isn't politically supported or you're in a team that's been dispossessed of it's "turf" then you're toast. Expect no training nor permission to actually take ownership or decisions about anything, innovation is hence dead. Ultimately that boils up to perhaps 3 or 4 people who are allowed to direct things technologically.
