Vantaggi
They try, they really do try. They have some of the best products on the market. They had, when they bought great companies, great people (see cons below). New Goldman Sachs influence shows massive American corporate short-termism which is great if your bonus is due this quarter.
Svantaggi
When they bought great companies, great people came with those products. They appear happy to just let them go without asking how a product became so good. Mangers, directors, VPs at the multitude of acquired companies have managed to build empires and seem to escape true and thorough examination from head office. The second tier staff remain protected also and draw excessively large checks without truly earning the numbers. Iniquity across US and international offices in pay and prospects add to deep dissatisfaction of talented teams.
