Atos – “No visible strategy, and being taken over by the French, but probably no worse than anywhere else to work”

Pros

Lots of room to show initiative and come up with good ideas
A very broad range of activities and services

Cons

Management by spreadsheet, with very short-term goals
Complete unwillingness to invest in anything with a return of over a few months

Advice to Senior Management

Develop some strategy, that is more than about money, and convey it to the troops, and then keep on doing so
