Pros
The people were fine for the most part.
Cons
The bigger issue was just how disorganized everything was day-to-day, like nobody had actually mapped out any real processes or workflows, and you'd constantly find yourself asking who decides anything because that's never clear. You'd get asked to do something and halfway through find out another team was already on it or there was no approval system or the deadline just changed without anyone telling you, which honestly gets old fast. Meetings happened constantly but there were no agendas and nothing ever got decided in them, so you'd sit there for an hour and walk out with more questions than answers. There was no centralized tracking system for what was actually in flight or who owned what, so you'd spend what felt like half your day trying to figure out the decision structure instead of actually doing work. Everything just felt like making it up as we went, and that kind of operational chaos doesn't get better on its own. It just metastasizes and gets harder to untangle the longer it goes.
