Pros

Decent flexibility for hybrid model.

Cons

Strong push for AI to be used everywhere in the company, but there is no understanding of the consequences. Lip service for modernization while broken processes are simply ignored for unproven 'innovation' with technology. Discussions through the grapevine to significantly cut headcount. Poor workplace culture.
