Pros

The problem domain is quite interesting.

There are people within the organization that realize the problems with the current culture and are trying to change it.

Cons

Product decisions are made by a team with little technical understanding of the product, based on attempting to juggle every single customer whim.

This causes lots of priority shuffling and unfeasible release schedules, while the product suffers due to technical debt and neglect of basic issues.

Advice to Management

Involve people with technical knowledge in the decision-making process. Shift the focus onto improving the product and the customer experience instead of focusing on endless customer wish lists.
