Pros

My manager is open to new ideas and listens. He also offers appropriate feedback. The team I work with are very technical competent. I have been provided with appropriate training.

Cons

Not having complete software products and processes identify as a complete process. It seems we do one product at a time rather than getting our software requirements identified and then get them all installed at one time.
