Nortel Networks – “Never Was So Little Done With So Much”

Pros

Complete lack of accountability (if that is what you are looking for), Lack of vision & strategy allows you to pretty much do whatever you want - regardless of how it might impact the business (call it creative license), Out of touch with customers - so anyone can claim to know what the customer wants, You get to be around gifted people - whose gifts go completely to waste

Cons

Working on project after project that gets canned, No opportunities for promotion, the rare person who is promoted leaves you scratching your head as to what possible attributes account for said promotion, belief that great technology will lead to a great business

Advice to Senior Management

Collect members of janitorial staff, assign them your jobs.
