Pros

Org: Platform & Devices

Smart people, interesting problems, good engineering philosophy.

Cons

Leadership panic, top-down, is moving business focus to AI, no matter if it makes sense or not.

Advice to Management

Please award consumer and product driven thinking, instead of a fully eng-driven (promo-driven) culture.
