Pros

This space has a lot of potential if they play it right.

The CEO and CFO combination is great.

Cons

Middle management sucks, some managers are old and from early days of company inception, they have high sense of self importance and arroganceMBO's/yearly goals are written such that it helps company rather anything in there that also helps employees to growThey are very stingy with providing resources to employees for success.

The CFO wants everything in real time. In my experience, my team had the worst WLB.

Advice to Management

Grow up, this is a space that can grow many folds, invest where it will be useful
