Business Outlook
Pros
People are smart and well-intentioned Gourmet food everyday, in lots of different cafes Countless opportunities to take on-campus classes Internally transparent company, even around product development
Cons
In finance, non-technical management somewhat helpless in technical environment. IT problems fester because leadership is detached... can't envision and implement solutions. Poorly designed internal processes lead to massive inefficiency in day-to-day operations. Culture of autonomous work is being replaced by corporate, tops-down autocracy. 20% of people in finance provide 80% of the functional value, because the other 80% of people don't have necessary technical skills to contribute.
