CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Still getting a paycheck. The work itself is high tech and quite interesting. Too bad the cons are increasing.

Cons

Resources keep dwindling. Resources as in pay, needed equipment to get the job done, IT, quality, people. Management is still not aligned. Documentation is getting worse. Blame game is rampant. Cover-ups, character assassinations, perception driven rather than data driven. Efficiency is replaced with dynamic initiative changes on a dime. Projects initiated get dropped halfway so you spend most of your time starting over in a new direction or initiative. Training and learning opportunities not possible due to lack of money and time. Meetings are unstructured and chaotic.
