Vantaggi
- Easy to claim success due to being at the right place at the right time
- for field roles ability to capitalize
on refresh cycles
- for corporate roles ability to get
the VCE seat at the table with
investor companies to control flow
of info within VCE and be
perceived as SME
- Opportunity to immerse yourself in industry trends due to business model and relationships with EMC, Cisco, and VMware
- Opportunity to come in Day 1 and quickly jump corporate ladder if lobby right folks
Svantaggi
- Systemic culture of rewarding behavior for creating followers (yes men) than creating more leaders
- Revenue not profits is King, due to business model (shadow P&L), which combined with equity stake by executive team enables dissent to run rampant within the company
- One man's trash is another man's treasure has become the norm as VCE has become refuge for those to be or have been RIF'd by investor companies
