Pros
  • Plenty of onboarding / ramp-up time
  • Work-life balance
  • Great mix of interesting challenges and reasonable delivery expectations
  • Company lives its values
Cons

I ran into some team-level "ownership" issues: both "we don't want this particular piece" when it makes sense to include it, and "we want to keep control over this other piece" when doing so makes life difficult for other teams for no good reason.

Advice to Management

When and where necessary, re-evaluate the existence and purpose of a team against what they actually do.

Compare against the larger architecture and make sure the customer (and business) is best served, versus tribes and historical ownership.
