Great benefits, pleasant working environment. The technical staff is very experienced and knowledgeable in the traditional retail domain.

Management lacks the ability to define a strategic vision and stick with it long enough to see it through. Organizational structures create fiefdoms that cannibalize each other rather than work together for the greater good. They are reactionary to market demands with minimal thought leadership or internal innovation. A siloed culture doesn't foster collaboration or nurture organic multi-discipline teams to solve big problems.

Unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done with the present management structures. The best thing that could happen is to completely tear down and start over. The primary objective would be to leverage the immense resources available to maximize individual and team innovation. This would consolidate products into a usable, cost-effective solution for a targeted problem space, eliminate products that have outlived their revenue-generating potential, and nurture innovative solutions that help people and the planet. In short, reduce the management overhead that has no purpose other than to stifle the innovative potential of the technical talent.
