Pros

My fellow employees are tremendous. They have gone out of their way to be inclusive and adaptable.

Lot of company spirit (sometimes too much)

Cons

There are too many meetings that seem prescribed rather than called to address a real issue or problem.

Coordination across projects is incredibly heavyweight. Too many meetings (see above) with too many invitees. Where is the focus?

Jira, Jira, Jira is the ongoing issue.

Advice to Management

Step back and try to understand how and why processes have become so complicated. It feels like the reaction to every problem has been to add another layer of process.

If you want to accelerate product development, elimination of some (or many) of these layers is necessary.
