Pros

Good salary, bonus, possible shares, and ESPP.

Cons

Limited growing opportunities in Australia for Product Engineering development, timezone challenges, heavy process, big inertia, “home” internal tools for agile, ticketing, lots of Google Docs, monolithic core application, complex CI/CD, micromanagement, accountability overlaps… too many cons…

Advice to Management

Organize agile teams in full local (PO/Archi/Cx/Ux/Q3/Q4) with full autonomy on their tools and process and control on the “backbone” only: API compliance, versioning, degraded mode, and release rendezvous points. Go towards flat hierarchy and squads facilitators.
