Great global technology firm with somewhat high entropy growth
Pros: 1) Talent - bright, focused, motivated, experienced, energetic people from all over the world; 2) Resources - funding to work on long-term, ambitious projects; 3) Global reach - ability to deliver solutions to customers world-wide
Cons: Growing bureaucracy and focus on legal/operations management vs product development, management inexperience in dealing with resource allocation in the presence of scarcity/slow growth, excessive fragmentation of responsibility and lack of end to end product/business ownership
