Pros

Benefits Always changing, never boring There is still an amazing mission under all the “other stuff”

Cons

Leadership does not listen. Every org is too siloed. They only care about their orgs metrics. And I I’ll die on the hill that throughput should not be the main metric for quality

Pros

Employees share a strong sense of commitment to the mission and are generally high quality. The products are not perfect, but they are excellent and improving.

Cons

Decision making processes are immature and/or non-existent. Decisions are made top-down, often based on long standing personal networks, not merit and analysis. Organizational politics and doing things based on how they will appear, not how they impact the business, are prevalent.
