Pros

Work with empowered, very smart people. Lots of interesting technology. Individual groups have a lot of autonomy and are empowered to make their own decisions.

Cons

Support of tier-1 systems can be exhausting at times. Hundreds of groups with lots of freedom sometimes create duplicate efforts and mismatched goals.

Advice to Management

Stay focused on providing the best on-line retail experience for our customers.

Revisit auctions and figure out how to make them work.

Revisit search and consider improving its results.
