Negative OutlookNo CEO Opinion
Pros

A very big workforce. Good work-life balance.

Cons

A lot of reporting.

More energy spent on presentations and reporting rather than doing the work and investigating new designs.

Too much of a boys club.

Hard to get promoted.

Advice to Management

Need to break down barriers and the "boys' club." Although the older generation is now retiring, the mentality on inbreeding keeps the stronghold. Create completely new teams and hire people outside the industry to innovate and come up with new ways of working. Leaders who have been there for more than seven years will find it difficult to make this happen.
