Pros

Friendly and collaborative colleagues who are generally willing to support one another. Employees are encouraged to raise ideas and flag inefficiencies. Exposure to various processes allows for learning across functions.

Cons

Communication from senior management lacks clarity and direction, often leaving teams without a clear understanding of goals or priorities. Internal processes are inefficient, with redundant work being repeated across teams. Suggestions for improving efficiency are frequently overlooked or not acted upon, resulting in missed opportunities for productivity gains. There is little follow-through on initiatives that could streamline operations, creating a sense of stagnation. Management often appears reactive rather than proactive, with a focus on status quo instead of continuous improvement.
