Pros

ChowNow leaned heavily into Agile Software Development during my time there. The company paid for a Scrum Master certification course for everyone who was willing to take it. Work was organized and progress was measured according to Agile practices.

Cons

Team dynamics were more tribal and territorial than collaborative. Some individuals are genuinely helpful and willing to work hard towards common objectives. Others seem to elevate their personal work preferences over the needs and goals of the team. Unfortunately the latter are long-time employees and protected by management.

Pros

Coworkers are good people and teams try their best despite the chaos. Remote work.

Cons

Poor executive leadership, constantly changing priorities and restructuring, lack of direction, low morale, reactive decision making, and executives who are out of touch with what the business actually needs.
