Pros

Honesty, being essential, is awesome for technical people who get it.

Generalist, Specialist, any level interested.

Focus on Customer Value, doing technology right, and business ethics.

Cons

What have you done for me lately?

There's a huge gap between Technologists and Senior Management. Senior Management is academic and focused on the bottom line (their RSUs).

Advice to Management

Stop flushing the front lines. Flush middle and upper management. Solve the entire customer problem, not just piece parts.
