Advice to Management

It's a very cool place to work in the sense of work-life balance and having friends for life, but there's no career plan, or it's tough to achieve objectives.

There are many learning initiatives which are really cool, but rarely will you apply your knowledge because there is no opportunity to do so.

I passed almost a year trying to change the process to something more DevOps, but internal culture is hard to break.
