Pros

Education on AI Fluency and access to the latest LLM models. My immediate team who energizes me.

Cons

Current CEO and leadership trickles down commercialization message, everything is about metrics, what's the business impact, how many cases did this work touch, what is the trend. Often times appearing shortsighted.

Incentive metrics are broken, and asked to do more, An innovation unit is not recognized.
