Pros

Most people are friendly and open to advice and or gentle criticism. The PMO organization does seem to have it together on where to go with the platform.

Cons

The company used to value customer success, employee satisfaction and other core values. Under the new management the company values profit over everything. People who are or should be considered experts are often not consulted about priorities of work or even thoughts on direction of development when that is their key job. Mid level management has taken a view of do what you are told and do not ask questions. Essentially every division is promoting what amounts to the age old "yes" person instead of someone who might raise credible objections. Again this is especially clear at middle managment especially in development and professional services though sometimes clear that a profit before success is prevalent at higher levels and even stated as such.
