Positive OutlookApproves of CEO
Pros

Excellent reputation. Lots of smart and motivated people to work with. The new CEO is really driving cultural change and increased focus on customers in the mobile and services world.

Cons

The IT department is lagging behind the rest of the organization regarding customer focus and innovation.

The new review process is still a work in progress, and as such, is not consistent across the company.

Advice to Management

Too many levels of management leading to the Peter Principle. If many of the "managers" would move to individual contributor roles, the company could really take back talent.
