Cons

Some IT groups are badly managed; Promotions are rarely given and only to those that are manager's personal friends; Not sure about the future of the company in the US. Changes technology direction too often, too many standard procedures, too much documentation - waste a of time and money.

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.
