Pros

Optics/branding over impact, limited funding, skill, and imagination.

Cons

Management does not read ML literature and does not support ML operations. Advocates for research but does not fund research conferences, experiment tracking, or substantial compute. Likes the idea of applying ML, but does not want to invest in proper research and development, which is perceived as a cost center.
