Cons

There are significant challenges within the company related to management effectiveness and collaboration. In particular, the product management team sometimes struggles to establish clear and efficient workflows, which can complicate processes for the engineering team and lead to solutions that do not meet end-user needs. Additionally, some engineering managers appear to prioritize their own perspectives over team collaboration, which may contribute to a lack of cohesion with product management. It's essential that we work together more effectively to foster a constructive environment that promotes the best outcomes for both engineers and end users.

Global Blue Response

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We understand the importance of strong collaboration between engineering and product teams. We agree that there always space for improvement, and we are always actively working on improving communication and alignment between the two functions to streamline workflows and enhance cross-team collaboration. We also appreciate your feedback on the need for a balanced team structure and are always looking for ways to improve efficiency - your input is valuable and while this is the first time we receive this particular feedback, we will certainly take it into consideration as we embark on the new exciting journey with Shift4!
