Pros

Team members at ground level globally work together as well as possible to deliver in spite of challenging conditions. Pay and work life balance was good.

Cons

Current board and senior management have poor understanding of technology/software development and the positive impact it can have on the business resulting in under investment and woeful decision making in these areas. Strangely they appear reluctant to delegate decision making and empower staff lower down the organisational structure who have a better understanding of these areas. Previous focus on short term goals and use of contractors has resulted in considerable technical debt across the digital and technology function.
