From my perspective: Some companies hire these MBAs straight out of college, and put them into fast track programs. This is not a bad thing in itself, but it means you can end up with a (S)VP or C level who has never actually worked in the area the company is in. This leads into "great" ideas being generated (e.g. every new hire has to be signed off by the VP of the division, all purchasing needs 2 levels of sign off etc), that may sound great, but to people actually living with the ideas, it causes massive issues. Without fail, everytime I have seen a policy like these that makes me groan out loud, when we find out who came up with it, they have an MBA.
