Overly process driven - Feels like you cannot cross the street without jumping through a dozen hoops. Feels like process > best answer. Progress is SLOW! Risk averse - Being empirical based is great, but being overly analytical stifles innovation. Allergic to outside expertise - Focus on hiring from within + Internal methodology is strong in some areas, but it's treated like the gospel and external expertise is devalued and underappreciated. Creates lack of trust and confidence. Hierarchal - Employees seem hesitant to speak out of line to challenge senior leadership. Many people seem in it for the long run (protect jobs > best result). Bad Decision Making - Constant feeling that senior executives don't really know what their doing (excluding delivering production related results), but won't trust those who do to steer the ship, Make short term decisions despite functional best practices. Diversity and Inclusion - Old fashioned and slow moving; Good intentioned white men who were great at sales still run the company - they try their best but unclear of the best steps to take; hesitant to make bold moves or trust those who know. Unknown and disconnected - Working here won't scratch your ego around big brand names. Decentralized nature is wasting tons of resources and synergies. Sparks of change beginning to shine but issues above will slow and stifle.
