Business Outlook

Pros

Office is nice, new flex work is ok but flawed.

Cons

Shifting priorities and inconsistent experience because no team wants to own and maintain anything, they just want to hit their own goals for promos. There is no product leadership and no one can articulate a clear vision or strategy.
