Pros

I have had the opportunity to work with some of the brightest technologists in the industry, not only in Atlanta. The types of changes and technologies we've implemented have been featured in major web technology conferences. The opportunity to consistently innovate and work with others who thrive off of working together to solve highly complex problems is why I love my job.

Cons

The primary dysfunction is when decisions are made which continue to leave old technologies in place, and then leaders wonder/question why we have complexity and unmanageable systems growth. It's time to use this current corporate "changing of the guard" to make tough decisions and narrow our technology services scope so we can be more nimble.

Advice to Management

You need to not only encourage, but require that software/services be built in a modular way so that businesses can use more shared technologies versus continued one-offs.

Additionally, stop allowing the consumer-facing business units to bully shared technology areas into building these one-offs.
