Pros
» A culture that challenges employees at every level to perform on a daily basis » Abundant opportunities to apply a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills » A great environment to grow quickly given the right executive sponsorship and visibility » A great place for truly talented and passionate individuals to invest a great deal of time and build a career
Cons
» Management generally not receptive to change; emphasis on reactionary decisions - preoccupied with "fighting fires" » A demand for productivity and efficiency that unfortunately ignores employee satisfaction and concerns » Widespread duplicate and incomplete work, frequent functional silos and counter productive sub-cultures; poor standardization of practices and outdated tools typical » A management culture that promotes coercion as an accepted practice to drive results
