Avoid at all costs
|
|
I honestly don't see any pros at all
|
Clueless management. No budget. Executives have pie in the sky dreams and can't execute them. Budget for critical systems is choked to the point where the systems are literally almost falling over every single day and require emergency intervention to keep minimum functionality running.

CEO has no idea what he's doing, but he's so sure of himself
|
|
Company has wonderful people. It also has a few good and innovative ideas.
|
The good ideas aren't promoted,
Instead, CEO's outdated bad ideas he had from another company get all the press and ultimately sank the company.
CEO Grade would be D-.

Lateral alignment must be added to operating rhythm. GLX doesn't fit in the company (mostly because it's a horrible idea doomed to fail) and other teams don't know why it's part of the company portfolio other than "CEO thought it was a good idea, but he's wrong"

Management-heavy, leadership shortcomings
|
|
People are very nice, friendly. A welcoming midwestern atmosphere if there ever was one.
|
Though the ranks of management have been thinned over recent years, there are still too many levels of sign-offs and approvals that make things slower than they need to be.

The company culture is friendly, but the consequence is that nobody wants to speak the truths that folks need to hear, even if they're uncomfortable. Make it easier to have open and frank dialogs when needed.
