Unnecessarily complicated organization

Business Outlook

Pros

The salary and benefits are within industry standards. Flexible work schedule within department. The people are generally friendly.

Cons

There are way too many levels of management and trying to work through any project is overly complicated and often results in wasted time due to poor communication and conflicting objectives cross departmentally. No one seems to see the overall picture in what the expected result/impacts will be, everyone works in their own silo and implements changes with little or no consideration for downstream/upstream impacts.
