Pros
Existing products/tech/solutions are the main drivers of the business - what works, works. Seemingly innovative new solutions/concepts have been introduced, specifically digital solutions. Some of the smaller teams/departments are tight-knit and can provide a great working environment. Overall staff are friendly in general and provide support where needed.
Cons
Company remains stuck in status quo - archaic and slow processes, leading to huge inefficiencies across the business. Initiatives on the roadmap gets shifted and deprioritized often, leading to timelines getting pushed out. Often has an "inside-out" perception of market wants and needs - build new solutions and ask staff to go sell and not take into account customer feedback or accurately assess changing market dynamics. Solutioning for clients is quite inefficient, often leading to delays. Planning could be better or completed ahead of time to ensure specific priorities are addressed as soon as possible. Compensation and benefits do not reflect responsibilities of the role and pale in comparison to market standard. Leadership and management tend to micro-manage a lot of the time. Often get advised that there is autonomy, yet decisions must be vetted by management before anything gets done. Barely any training program or onboarding process - you are left to figure things out while getting consistently demoralized by management. Does not help boost confidence when in the role.
