Pros
Matrixed which allows one to work on projects in virtual teams Stability of employment w/o worrying about layoffs Cutting edge technology exposure Free rein to be creative No top-down mandates Executive leadership adapts to changes very quickly CEO shows empathy towards causes and situations employees go through
Cons
Career path not discussed Middle management gets in the way Employees are oversubscribed Schedules are not practical and speed to execute takes priority Organic bottom-up engagements are important, however, management needs to step in and provide guidance and direction which doesn’t always happen Organizational politics are rife which sometimes comes in the way of a virtual team performing well Process is not understood or appreciated, so documenting processes is an uphill battle
