Pros

They mostly avoid insane schedules.

Cons

Senior folks seem to thrash year after year trying to decide what to build.

If you work on something, you have no sense that it won't be canned in a year and then brought back again two years later.

There just isn't any tech savvy in the higher ranks that helps them pick the right thing to work on.

Advice to Management

"Learn fast from your mistakes" is no excuse for making bad calls. You can't keep throwing out projects and expect engineers to stay.

Quicken Online, built and replaced by Mint. Intuit Payroll, built and replaced by Paycycle. QBO, put on life support then brought back as the hope for the future. The list goes on and on.
