Slow moving HQ, Entitled Management

Pros

They attempt to be an employer of choice. Decent people for the most part.

Cons

A lot of growing pains. They have had the same ambition for years, and it's not getting done. Have spent millions of dollars on consultants, and expenses for people to fly around the world, senior management is brought on board on really good packages, but are they effective? If senior management is hired on great packages, then why do they need so many consultants? Then it's easy to blame someone else when the work doesn't get done. Many people in the HQ do not do much, and are unreceptive. They are civil servants, and it's difficult to be fired in Germany, so they are reshuffled on the same lucrative package. I believe many people stay because it's comfortable and they are decently compensated.
