Pros
1. Chaotic management and subsequent awareness of significant interdepartmental conflicts are minimized by employees being intentionally kept in the dark as part of the standard corporate culture. 2. High turnover rate in both management and staff ensures a continuous influx of new personalities every year. 3. Management exclusively listens to its "corporate raider" investors, preventing any ambiguity or confusion to the prioritization of customer device security needs or employee satisfaction over the companies primary focus—profit. 4. The company continues to bolster a good public images and public workplace awards even at the expense of not incorporating true employee feedback or remediation into corporate strategies. 5. Everyone knows everyone! Whole teams are created by “good ol’ boy” networks to replace qualified individuals with loyalists, preventing any confusion or expectations of normally expected leadership competencies.
Cons
1. The company consistently produces insecure medical devices, choosing profit over customer safety. Medical devices are routinely submitted to, and accepted by, the FDA despite containing critical security vulnerabilities that are allowed by leadership. 2. The company has been embroiled in internal crises for several years. Competent internal resources are continually let go, while core business issues—such as technical debt and security—are pushed to the back burner by management. 3. Overall, employee morale is extremely low across the organization, many people express fear of retaliation if they provide honest feedback in workplace surveys. 4. Opportunities for training and personal skill development are very limited and have to be fought over to get. 5. Employees face constant job insecurity due to the company's shortsighted strategy of outsourcing and eliminating jobs, which undermines expertise, innovation, and organizational stability.
