Business company research

Introduction
Assess the management team at this company and describe the high-level organizational structure that is in place. Evaluate the human resources situation at your company. Is diversity present in the management team? Are people treated well? You will then analyze this information, thinking critically about the information you found in your research.

This should be an interesting and compelling explanation of the management and HR situation at the company which is presented in a flowing narrative format with sub-section headings for each area listed and described below. The Corporate Companion Information page contains an overview of the project, a template you can use to complete the assignment, research approach advice and videos, and the list of companies being researched. All sources should be cited in APA style.

Content Expected:
Introduction: Company name, stock symbol, year founded, most recent full-year revenue, headquarter location, and state of incorporation. Assume the reader is not familiar with the company. Use this opportunity to incorporate the feedback I provided on your first Introduction.

1. Management: Name of the current CEO and the gender/minority composition of the senior management team, based on appearances. What does this tell you about the company?

2. Structure: An analysis of the company structure: is it organized by business units representing different product lines? different business functions? different customers?

3. Employees: Do all employees work at a single headquarter office? Are they distributed globally? What are some of the key roles/jobs performed by the employees at this company?

4. Reviews: Evaluate the employee reviews of this company from sources such as GlassDoor (https://www.glassdoor.com/member/home/companies.htm.) and Indeed (https://www.indeed.com/companies.). Summarize the positives and negatives of working for this company, as indicated by the reviews.

5. Analysis: Has the company leadership and structure changed over time? What is driving this change? Based on the dates of the reviews, are the reviews getting better or worse? Why might this be happening? Do your findings change your perception of this company?
