Cons
- Majority of managers come from the technical field and underestimate the importance of soft skills. - No "expert" career progression (probably the reason for the above) - Politics permeate even the most mundane activities. - Career progression is nonexistant at its worse, very clunky and slow at its best. - Complex governance: Decisions and actions from the are sometimes schizophrenic - Administration seems unable to manage toxic employees and under performance (at all level) - Culture: codified class system (internal/external permanent/temporary D/P/G) - Golden handcuffs
