They want to change, but they keep shooting themselves in the foot.

Product manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly work environment, some efforts are made to promote more women into senior management, very diverse employee base

Cons

Too much process and governance. They are trying to eliminate some of the hassle, but they keep placing the wrong people in the wrong executive roles. Because of this, they are not able to simplify and increase their bottom line. A layoff can come at any time without any warning, if the corporate office decides to make changes on the fly.
