Good people. Potential and thirst to do more. in 2014 and 2015 a lot of uncertainty. next two years are more of a gamble

Business planning manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

people, learning opportunities in 2014 and 2015 (because of struggling state of business), great work-life balance, good ideas for future products, the CEO has good ideas and focus, but having a difficult time changing behavior and inbuilt culture. recent high level changes in org structure look promising, but hopefully not too late.

Cons

high future uncertainty, cutting costs, unaligned processes, too many execs. the company is trying to get ahead of its competitor but not really focusing on a few things. instead they are trying to everything. as a result, they are losing in the market, despite the big console win. lacks clear accountability for actions/results, most of the time people accept delays in results or failures a little too much
