Pros

Flexible work arrangements offer lots of freedom to do and/or work the way I want. There is good access to fellow employees for help or assistance when needed.

Cons

Not a lot of direction from managers. Many managers are unaware of what their reports are responsible for. Lots of time is spent re-engineering things that work and ignoring things that don't.

Advice to Management

Need to have people in place that can look at and understand the big picture. Too many people just towing the line prevents this company from being nimble.
