Pros

Smart people tackling hard problems.

Cons

Management and stack ranking for performance

Advice to Management

Stop hard-lining stack ranking.

Managers and directors are hit and miss, with misses being more likely. Spend more time hiring better, ethical, long-term minded managers rather than chasing growth.
