Stark Investments – “Chaotic”

Many super intelligent, ambitious colleagues; History of having a good culture. CEO very loyal to firm and works through thick and thin

Cons

Highly political, lots of infighting among senior executives;

Advice to Senior Management

Don't grow too quickly; keep control of the culture; refocus the firm on its core business after the credit crisis and rebuild on a more solid base; get rid of the few bad cultural apples now rather than later
