Pros

If you toe the line, you will be rewarded handsomely. No unnecessary benefits (free lunch? What's that?), but it all lands in your paycheck instead. Eliminating redundancy gives each staff member more autonomy.

Cons

Harsh and authoritarian leadership.

Eliminating wasteful and redundant costs usually incurs painful reductions too.

Doesn't actively hire very much. The divisions are just working on their current product paths, with no encouragement for diversifying through innovation.

Advice to Management

Keep the focus on the bottom line, but at least bring in some superficial benefits so employees "feel" a little better.
