- Mediocrity is tolerated and management seems afraid to make hard decisions - Not particularly meritocratic - Commercial awareness/sense of entrepreneurism could be stronger - Sales people lack technical skills - Disparity in comp between juniors/seniors seems significant - Ambition and progression is discouraged - people are told to wait their turn so good talent ends up leaving.
