Cons
*Frustratingly poor managment, focused on detail rather than strategy and providing appropriate support and development opportunities *lacking processes, they tend to make stuff up as they go along *They flip between lots of bureaucracy in some cases and in others they want instant results *Frustrating and disjointed systems, they have all of the tools and toys but none of the services or discipline to underpin the use of those tools *Limited to no relevant development, they would rather spend money and budgets on contractors than perm staff *Increasingly low moral of perm and contractor staff *They struggle to retain staff
