Business outlook
Pros
Company still thinks it is strong, has a uniquely great culture, is financially sound and makes no mistakes, and perception is reality, at least for management.
Cons
Company has been in decline for a decade now - it has been hollowed out. Once-strong culture has devolved into an echo chamber of yes-men, who compete to flatter the management layer above them. Technical work is no longer primary - there is direct and indirect pressure to produce the politically expected outcome. By now we have a whole generation of managers raised like that and hijacking the company to enrich themselves. This does not bode well for the company's future.
