Pros

In the last couple of years, Target's IT department has completely transformed. Roles have changed, tools have changed, many new faces are here, and our new CIO actually understands technology and isn't afraid to make decisions. Compared to the previous 5+ years, the last two have been a complete turnaround for the better. Target's IT department is turning back into a place where real engineers are respected and rewarded, and it's starting to show in some of the products and services we have been delivering.

Cons

Since the IT organization was recently transformed, many people in all positions still "don't get it" or aren't fully bought into the new way of working. However, I have full trust in our new CIO to steer us on the right path going forward.

Advice to Management

Get rid of as much legacy dead weight as soon as possible and continue to strive towards a DevOps and Agile culture.
