Pros

Great functions with wide reponsibilities Great people (no back stabbing) Good values Trying to buid team spirit Embrace the digital turn

Cons

Reducing the ressources in the team to a toxic level (People leave and aren't replaced.) Bad salaries (level of responsibilities vs pay roll job title), and a "you shouldn't evolve too quickly but sacrifices shall pay in the LT." policy No empathy from the management (local and above) who are just in the same boat and trying to do their best but feel no shame asking for more and more Showing scary increasing bad signs of cost reduction in the organization puting pressure on people to deliver with less Excelling is never enough Went from a flexible zen Swedish culture to a full american culture
