Advice to Senior Management

Business decisions seem to be made to foster managers' short-term career advancement rather than to foster future growth and technological innovation and development.
Old school corporate culture. You are treated as just another number. Not much room to advance. Very little recognition.

Pay is pretty good and minimal amount of presure

Management is poor, very little direction and changing strategies make it difficult to get traction in the market. One day you are pushing these products and then 6 months later you are asked to push new ones and the old bisiness unit is sold off....

Legacy systems. Technological advancement is very limited. Career advancement is possibly management.
