Svantaggi
Many jobs have poor work-life balance issues especially as you work your way up the career ladder. Our promotion from within policy has a downside of creating somewhat myopic vision on the part of senior leaders, and differing points of view are not always welcomed as much as would be healthy for an organization. As a company we are still struggling with what it means to be apublic company, and that can some times lead to poor decisions, and knee-jerk reactions to the Wall Street analysts, but Scott Davis seems to be the best CEO we've had so far with dealing with the vagaries of the market and the economy.
