Pros
There are talented and dedicated individuals in the organization who genuinely care about their work.
The company has the potential to grow and become a leading player in its industry if systemic issues are addressed.
Opportunities to work on interesting projects that can challenge and develop skills.
Cons
There is a systemic issue with accountability and ownership. Work often gets passed around, with multiple people at various levels feeling it is not their responsibility to see tasks through to completion.
HR and Finance seem disconnected from the challenges faced by the business units. Instead of understanding the root causes and offering practical solutions, they are often perceived as contributing to the problem.
A lack of clear intent and purpose when tasks are delegated, resulting in people following instructions without understanding the "why" behind their actions.
Proactive problem-solving is not encouraged or practiced widely, leading to delays and inefficiencies.
