Pros

Good office, good location, nice people and very nice benefits. They have a good vision of what they want to do and they have a plan to reduce overhead, but I am not seeing a lot of speed in that space.

Cons

Slow moving ship, they want to be good at developing products, but they are not changing quickly enough. They also lack the engineering talents in the bank, and are offshoring way too much - focusing on body counts versus paying for top talent.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
