Cons: -this is a boys club, male-dominated culture and most of the men are uncomfortable around women (especially women in leadership roles)
-in every business, there are few women and minorities at Senior Director and above level
-tenure, not performance, typically dictates advancement and therefore managers are usually not the most skilled, talented, capable people on a given team
-many teams suffer greatly, due to poor management and little to no leadership
-the professional culture, at its heart, is clickish and myopic
