- Departments work in silos
- Tends to follow the crowd e.g. with social initiatives (natural disaster donations) and comments on social values only when other major companies have already broken the ground, follows other labor initiatives (HR are unimaginative themselves). This leads to the company changing direction more often than a cockroach
- Restructurings and reorganizations are the norm in this company, so don't bother personalizing your work space (if you have a permanent one)
- Promotions are hard to come by
- Led by quarterly earnings releases, leading to short-term mindset rather than thinking long-term
- Large gap between VPs and the rest of the organization, leading to those senior staff travelling on numerous business meetings while other below that level are laid off for cost-saving purposes
- No telephones; need to use PCs and instant chat programs
- Very busy as senior management are trying all sorts of things to initiatives to get out of the 'one-trick pony' mindset they have slept-walked into, with many not very well thought through
