Pros

Many challenges come from a diverse, changing, and proud environment.

Here, you can learn how to make ends meet at a very high scale, interacting with teams in different time zones.

There's a lot of enthusiasm, and everyone is treated with the highest respect.

Cons

Lack of organization; the business makes highly impacting decisions with very little technical advice. Agile is followed as a result of implementing ceremonies, rather than genuinely understanding the core principles.

Advice to Management

Embrace true Agile: don't be afraid to start small and expand in small iterations, rather than planning huge projects with tight deadlines.

Involve dynamic tech experts in your ideas at an early stage.
