Pros

You can define a path with business justification. The company is shifting technologies, processes, and methods. Occasionally, I get out at a decent hour.

Cons

You have an idea, you are moving forward and making great progress. Suddenly, the barnacles of mediocrity start latching on. They become leeches. You were on to something; now it is bloated, and progress has slowed significantly. These are the people that make comments and criticisms but never take action. It is like sitting in a room where the ceiling is falling and literally having to take people by the hand and tell them to stop saying and start doing.

Advice to Management

Credo is great, but you need to shake up this culture. It is time for accountability. Don't just identify the problem, but propose solutions. Commit and follow through. Stop rewarding management that manages up but fails to manage their teams.
