Pros

An industry-leading company that responds to customer demands quickly.

Cons

I am on a successful project, so customer demands can result in long hours because of the number of customers using our product.

Since the company is so customer-focused, we tend to be reactive rather than proactive.

Advice to Management

Try to build up successful teams while also cutting the less successful. Don't use blanket policies that can hurt some parts of your company. Understand better the teams you are managing and make decisions for each group based on the business needs of each group.
