Approves of CEO
Pros

There are many exciting, innovative projects to work on in many areas. The company is focused on executing flawlessly and expects a high level of performance. There is not much dead weight left, and everyone takes their work very seriously. The company is making the right product decisions to support a successful future.

Cons

There is too much bureaucracy, and it can take a long time to make a decision. The average workload is quite high. While management supports a good work/life balance, it can be difficult to manage the expected workload without working extra hours. The "chimney" approach to managing the different product development organizations is outdated and causes political battles over who owns what.

Advice to Management

Keep compensation competitive and payout merit as soon as viably possible.
