Telos – “Strong leader but lacks resources, people to do his job effectively.”
Pros
Telos operates like a family run shop, so everyone eventually gets to know everyone.
Benefits are surprisingly pleasing.
Flex time is accepted by senior management, win-win for everyone.
Cons
* As a firm specializing in technical solutions, the workplace feels and looks extremely antiquated.
* Most of the business groups are failing and are kept afloat by only one or two groups. That means money made in those groups, goes to the company to fill holes elsewhere. Not much money remains in the group. Means little self-improvement is made.
* Management is stuck in the old-school way of doing business. They're afraid to suggest new ways of doing business to senior management, leading to the most ridiculous, convoluted solutions to be created. It's embarrassing.
Advice to Senior Management
Stop making technical decisions without consulting the young/smart people.
