Pros
-Great Flex Program -Immediate manager and team as like my 2nd family; great group -Slowly putting the company in a good position to pivot with vast realignment of workforce (position does not equal execution) -Pay is decent and getting better with policy changes -Skilled people that can make the company successful -Better transparency of the past year from leadership down (sometimes does feel like fluff though )
Cons
-Poor execution of great ideas meaning folks have outstanding ideas on how we can pivot or start fresh. However, those get bogged down by chain of command, no defined decision maker, to many of the same instruments (people) making just a lot of noise (no harmony everyone fighting for power and say). -No company wide alignment on future vision with far more unknowns then knows -Lack of value from various tech innovation programs due to poor adoption, “MVP” = final product and $600 ball point pen syndrome with legacy development mindset (lack of innovative thinkers) -“Schedule a meeting culture” where innovation is constantly stifled due to meeting to have a meeting multiple times with multiple groups sometimes spread across months due to lack of meeting availability. Vicious Cycle. -Lack of joy in ownership. Culturally, no one wants to make a decision. Can’t count the amount of times I have asked for input, a question or direction from the “decision maker” to have it forwarded / directed (on average 2 day delay) to another member of the team and then forwarded around again in a continually baton passing loop for weeks to come up with a simple solution or none at all. Frankly it drives me crazy to have to go through that dance (email, meeting, phone call, email, meeting,meeting, and so on). This is not collaborative nor agile. This is merely CYA.
