- Countless acquisitions (nearly 1 per month for several years) have created a Frankenstein of sorts that is a challenge to say the least to manage.
- Acquisitions have created an upside down pyramid of sorts where the company has massive amounts of upper managers trying to bring order to the organizational chaos but few workers on the ground to deliver the company's products and services
- Not a performance oriented culture. Lots of employees are happy to just punch the clock. Compensation structure rewards clock punchers and best performers (especially in research and consulting) are lost to higher octane competitors.
