Pros

- supportive colleagues - some cool scientific and technological advancement

Cons

In short, management practices that signify fanatical commitment to Friedman-style capitalism: - growing hierarchy with sole focus on revenue, utilization and costs, while the bottom of hierarchy becomes leaner by the years. - highly top-down management style. - Some critical functioning teams and positions have been ruthlessly made redundant in the face of difficult economic situation, causing long-term disastrous damage to operations and transactional processes. Commercial Excellence and Transformation is often the nice objective behind that. ;) - so many of such meeting were held within the hierarchy just to talk about revenue forecast and revenue accounting. Money is treated like a cult! - Meanwhile, the real tech and engineering work were left to rot. Manpower at working level were often left lean and strained. > <
