Business Outlook
Pros
Many employees are allowed to telecommute. However, although telecommuting is very convenient for these people, it detracts from the effectiveness of the overall organization, as people are dispersed all over the world and have to rely excessively on conference calls, etc. Thus even the smallest decisions end up taking too much time to make.
Cons
The company is too splintered up, with many development groups all over the world. Thus cooperation and collaboration are difficult to achieve. The pricing of the company's products is Byzantine -- I won't go into any further details. The company is way too top-heavy: there are many directors who are individual contributors; and there are way too many VPs.
