Pros

New CEO understands the issues albeit too late Still some amazing investors and sales professionals Great work/life balance if you aren’t particularly ambitious and just want to coast

Cons

Hundreds of highly paid middle managers working 7 hour days and playing politics Poor work ethic among many employees with workloads falling on handfuls of hard workers Poor pay and limited reward for talent especially in younger cohorts Performative, excessive and ineffective DEI programmes causing a general feeling of very low quality talent coming through the organisation Unbelievably bureaucratic and slow to make decisions
