Pros

Great people, the best. If you're looking for an expert, the internal systems for doing so make it easy to do.

Cons

Too many layers of management, too much bureaucracy, and too much chasing this quarter's number to the detriment of long-term value.

Advice to Management

Cut the middle.

There should be no more than 4-5 steps from employee to CEO. We have far too much middle and "VP" level management.
