Pros
- Strong ethics from operational staff making their best to make it work despite extensive lack of support and resources or (even worse) lack of clear leadership. - Still authoritative in a few media domain. - Provides good international exposure depending on the manager. - international working environment. - average perks.
Cons
- Constantly in search of its strategy - therefore does actually evolve - (too savvy). - Couple of power greedy senior managers cripple the whole organisation. - Difficulty to define and execute a strategy at all nor in due time! - No accountability for errors and major losses in the middle to senior management. - Complete denial of situations gravity for the sake of perceptions/politics/fear. - Rotten by office politics. - Promotions out of nowhere - appointment with no legitimacy (proven after in execution). - 'Golden' cage for older staff - fuels stagnation and lack of renewal in leadership, ideas and teams.
