I feel the biggest cons is company senior management. Most of the VP’s, Sr. directors and directors have less than 15 reports. Many actually have much fewer. Best they are working at a manager capacity, but enjoying heavy perks of senior executives(big big bonuses). It leaves very little space for middle management to grow and eventually the associates. Career path is almost negligible unless they chuck out more than 50% of senior management. Especially; technology executives (VP, Sr Directors and directors) are not much technical and only does micro managing and reporting chores. No good leadership and vision comes from this layer. And this a common theme across all big organization. Secops, technology and PMO.
