Pros

The company has awesome benefits. The HR and management are awesome. We can see a real effort to become an agile company. There are a lot of efforts in trainings.

Cons

Almost all the decisions and backlogs are defined by the US teams.

So, being outside the US, it is hard to bring some value.

There is some Dunning-Kruger effect at some levels of the company. It is very common for someone to give wrong information in trainings, for example.

Also, you can easily see a very hierarchical mentality in the company, even though they are trying to change it. This impacts the lack of transparency between the teams.

Advice to Management

Keep strong in the agile changes. In some way, start to reduce the impact that the oldest mindset has over the teams. This old mindset is toxic and will make people ill.
