Great UX Department

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture and camaraderie within the UX department were great. The same can be said for the majority of PMs and POs involved with the projects.

Cons

It is a large company and difficult to achieve positive changes in how work gets done from a UX point of view. Upper management seems to be misguided on how to produce a great product, and there are also market pressures that get in the way.
