When "how" trumps "what," you know the bureaucracy has gone too far

Business Outlook
Pros
Earned an opportunity to visit hospitals around the world. Exposed to and trained in numerous research methodologies along with marketing processes. Chartered projects had seemingly limitless budget funds to pursue needed activities, though it felt like overkill.
Cons
The matrix reporting structure takes time to adjust to and the downside is too many folks on the periphery can affect reviews. Frequent layoff's sadly often took out a few good people along with the under-performers. All of this lead to a culture of analysis paralysis where underlings and mid-level managers were afraid to make decisions; presentations to senior leadership outlining recommendations was often met with the same inaction.
