RecommendsApproves of CEO
Pros
  • Profit sharing and bonuses
  • Many ways to advance career (large company, many groups)
  • Large global presence => job security
Cons
  • The culture encouraged by corporate isn't always followed by middle management.
  • A "village knowledge" mentality increases bureaucracy and inhibits efficiency.
  • There is typically no value placed on MBAs.
Advice to Management
  • Keep trimming middle management; they're like roaches; they just won't die and keep hiring each other back like cronies.
  • Keep the senior management in place.
