Pros

Some complex an interesting projects.

Cons

Management seemed oblivious to poor moral and ignored advice and feedback despite having very poor staff retention. I'd seen VNS change in my time towards a 'hire and fire' attitude which is not sustainable. The stress put on people was huge, with little to no recognition of good work or achievements unless you were friends with management. A lot of time, money and development was spent on management, this was not the chase for engineers.

Pros

Good exposure to a large, complex organization with cross-functional collaboration. Opportunities to take on responsibility and learn quickly if you are proactive. Some strong internal frameworks and experienced individuals to learn from. Visibility across different teams and business units.

Cons

Lack of standardized processes creates unnecessary inefficiencies and rework. Too much reliance on individual knowledge instead of scalable systems. Cross-team communication is often reactive rather than coordinated, which slows execution. Roles and ownership are frequently unclear, leading to misalignment and finger-pointing. Tools exist but are not fully implemented or consistently used, resulting in avoidable manual work.
