Pros

In IT, there are a core of tenured people who really care about the success of the company and ensure that projects are completed, systems are available, and the world is kept working. Most of the company's recent IT successes are a byproduct of this team and the work that was put in the 2010's.

Cons

They have replaced all of the senior leaders in GTG with employees from consulting firms and agencies. This has led to echo chamber management filled with buzz words and paint by number McKinsey or Thoughtworks directives. There is very little substance to any of this, but it is sold to the Business in a way that it resembles accomplishment.
