Business outlook
Pros
-Smart Employees who are willing to cooperate to get the job done. -Hewlett Packard Legacy of respect for the individual still exists at least within the rank and file workers. - Good work life balance.
Cons
- Compensation and rewards are narrowed to the few rather than distributed widely and equitably (e.g. executive bonuses can be 25% while employee bonuses are less than 3%). - Long history of layoffs (especially in the US) with employees hired back as contractors to avoid having to pay benefits. - Management's answer to slow growth is to reorganize (again and again) rather than to fix the core of the problem.
