Pros

Deep pockets of former owner (Nokia) plus current owners (BMW/Audi/Daimler) lets you get away with wasting a lot of time, effort, and resources. It takes so long to get anything done (on order of months to quarters) that there's no sense of urgency. No reason to work hard and no consequences to delivering late.

Cons

Many competing groups fighting to justify existence. A lot of "we're the most important group because..." Lack of vision. Lots of efforts still alive due to momentum versus opportunity. Confusing/overlapping roles (Business planner vs Product Owner vs Product Manager vs Program Manager? Leads vs functional managers) Organized such that a single group isn't able to deliver anything to a customer, leading to lots of completed deliverables sitting on the shelf for months, to an end customer in years. Lots of mega-processes/tools, inefficiencies that scaled. Process for the sake of process that don't really make things easier.

Pros

Leadership is very understanding and are clear SME’s that know what their doing. There’s a learning curve that’s complex, but compensation and experience is worth the training.

Cons

Internal operations could be better, but that’s expected with any growing company.

Pros

Friendly and supportive team, great work-life balance, and a positive work environment. People are easy to work with and collaboration is smooth across teams.

Cons

There are no major downsides from my experience. Some processes could be improved for efficiency, but overall it’s a solid place to work.
