Negative Outlook
Pros

Flexible work environment, interesting technology development, many different products and positions enable easy moves to new responsibilities, international company, has awareness of and attempts to improve gender equality in leadership positions.

Cons

Top-heavy organization: lots of managers, not a lot of people doing the work.

Teams in different continents can make projects difficult to progress.

Advice to Management

Fewer managers overseeing each project significantly slows down project work. This is because of the high amount of time required to communicate with the numerous managers who have been appointed as stakeholders. A project with two people working on it can easily have six managers requiring updates and commitments.
