Best of the Worst
Pros: Work with world recognised brands and products loved the world over. A few good perks, ..... I am now filling the space to get over the 20 word minimum.
Cons: Where do you begin? Management are too busy fire fighting and complaining about the meaningless elements of their roles, rather than better understanding the issues around the organisation.

All strategy is developed in the US, however the business struggles to understand there are different consumers across the world and different retailers other than Best Buy.

They are world recognised brands, but for the work it did pre-2010. It has fallen behind its competitors on all fronts. PS4 winning the latest console battle. Apple winning on the consumer space across all formats, as Windows, their device partners (Dell, Lenovo and Compaq) are too busy fighting each other, rather than fighting the bigger beast, and Nokia (Microsoft Mobile) is just so far behind its untrue.

The whole organisation is worrying too much about why consumers prefer other products than getting their products up to a level which can compete.

I cannot put into words how much of a painful and awful organisation this is.
