Pros
Very acquisitive organization over the past few years, but struggling with true integration of those. Get it in the door and we will figure it out later how to operate approach - which allows to move fast and expand (can also be a con). Global company that does interesting work and interest and exciting lines of business. Entrepreneurial culture (in many business lines).
Cons
Lots of redundant efforts and lots of kingdom building. Executive management is a good ol boys club and don’t seem to come out with unified strategic vision expect for make more money and reduce costs. Instead they do their own thing in their own business line/focus and share capital from each other - it’s a brand of brands despite what is communicated. Lots of recent operations problems with no strategic goals except to keep costs low and put more manual audit process in place to prevent future problems. Back office is a tough place to thrive and truly be appreciated employee vs a cog in the wheel, and it starts at the top. Lack of leadership experience outside of growing up at INTL or larger organizations, instead “we are smart and will figure it out”. Not sure if that works for a $1B market cap company, perhaps it did when they were much smaller.
