Pros
Consistency in the divisions. Executives know what needs to be done at each of the divisions, supply chain and the NDA group.
Cons
Finance and IT are very weak. Leadership wants to be meaningful but is to concerned about fitting in and being liked. A lot of meetings or talk but not much action. Style limits grow of staff unless you agree with the leader of the group. Very little risk taking. Address all the safe things but back down if politics of office are difficult. Leader of group really wants to be liked and needed. Says all the right things but actions do not match. At times you feel like a six year old is this group. Only upside is if you are willing to sell your sole you'll survive. But if you want to learn and grow this is not the organization to be in you should work for one of the other groups. Finance and IT are also more concerned with how important they are than in listening to the plants and sales groups. Dictate to them but don't listen. This comes from the top.
