Pros

* Company really cares about employees' well-being * Jerky managers are counseled out * Psychologically safe * Company is currently successful * Traditional top-down hierarchy works great for sales, operations

Cons

* Heavy hierarchy kills innovation * Internal innovation success has been mixed * Failure has lead to costly acquisitions, team displacement * The few teams that enjoy autonomy often build useless, buzzword-heavy toys to pad their resumes

Pros

A lot o good people started and built this company and they’ve built products that are Moderately better than many of their competitors’

Cons

Lots of waste, superfluous process, major org changes every 6-12 months, and declining culture caused by an emphasis to protect executive management’s self-esteem over actually identifying real problems so they can be solved.
