"Interoffice communication tends to be poor, and uni-directional. Too top heavy with managers and not enough people doing the analysis and design work. Not enough proactive action to retain good employees. Too project priented rather than employee / team oriented. The Divisions operate almost like 4 (or more) separate companies, with respect to employees. Not a lot of loyalty to employees. Treated as a means to an end."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Spend more time on completing communication loops. Value employees with something besides money (like loyalty and an attitude of being one company / team that makes real efforts to retain good employees)."
