Pros
As always there’s a small group of people who are great but there’s a fair bit of Stockholm syndrome where you’re all trying to tell each other that it’s great when it’s obviously not.
Cons
The executive team really is an issue here. Most are protected by longevity in the organisation, and lacking skills and current business practises. . Chaotic management practices . Leadership is fear based . Motivated by their bonus and it’s especially bad in 4th quarter, forcing you to push through orders that aren’t ready so that they can meet their target. A real world conversation with Japan is not in their playbook, so berating Account Managers is the go-to method instead. . Lack of funds . Lack of skilled engineers and specialists. . Old fashioned . Siloed . Decreasing revenues and profit putting stress on new acquisitions to fill the gap. . Professionally tricky
