Pros
Flexible working, I was able to work less as it got worse and worse. Great developers working in scrum teams.
Cons
In the digital dev space- From a scrum standpoint, very poor. Very low maturity and understanding of scrum and as such limited benefits. Pieces of work were brought into teams via a phased waterfall style process (presumably to satisfy PMO), where scrum teams were segregated from key analysis & design work via a process called shaping. This work was performed by different people. (Bottleneck/handover!). As a scrum master I consider it my role to improve this, however here, this `process` was not possible to bypass, nor any interest in improving on it. Forget continuous improvement in the broader system of work or trying to reduce lead time. The last 6 months in my experience took a new low - new manager, a cardboard cutout ex-Nab, ex-GE suit devoid of personality appeared focussed on accountability, reports and all the other things that matter not. Some questionable behaviour ensued with a new company being appointed to the panel for recruitment which same manager may or may not have had some kind of linking to (conflict of interest alarm- whoop, whoop) seeing a shift in recruitment to focus on a specific company. The P&C person for our area I was advised we should not approach as they were `too close` to certain managers to do anything about this and instead may work out badly for us. Resigned and walked away. On my last day, no exit interview ,nothing. This review is my only attempt to feed back because no one seemed remotely interested at the time, probably not now either.
