Business Outlook

Pros

- Data could be used for innovation in multiple ways - Lots to learn with ample opportunities and do enhancements technically There could be more, but the cons will block you from thinking about it.

Cons

- The team never gave respect to the individuals. Respect for the individuals is missing overall. - The leader was non-technical and was not sound enough to guide the team. This prohibits the team from growing ahead. - Lot of bureaucracy within the company and the team. - Very cold vibe within the team. The virtues and values of the team were not ideal for someone with a healthy mindset to work.
