Pros

Work-life balance. Interesting problem space. Design decisions generally at the appropriate technical level. Intelligent co-workers.

Cons

Management is unable/unwilling to prioritize and keep with priorities for longer than a few months. This negatively affects the clarity of vision and does not allow everyone to push behind a given objective to make a meaningful impact. Ineffective managers are rarely managed out.

Advice to Management

Clarity of vision is a must to get everyone moving in the same direction.

Look at your managers: who is talking and who is completing what they talked about?

Some managers are able to get the desired outcome, while others have good thoughts, but the execution is poor.

Evaluate on execution, not on intent. Act on that evaluation.
