Pros
- passionate people on the ground level who were not afraid to challenge each other and work towards building something awesome
Cons
- EP acquired a company to help move it to a SaaS platform, and that CEO ended up taking over the company and purging a lot of the core EP team for his people - Because of the shift to saas, delivery managers were out of work, so the company created a PMO with these people, who were, quite literally, some of the most useless and unhelpful people I've ever worked with. People that have never actually been in product development were now tasked with defining a product development process. All agility was lost with the addition of countless layers of process for the sake of process, and anyone that didn't buy into that was let go. - On the product side, new leadership sucked the life out of the product development team. All of the core leaders were outed or left, along with pretty much the entire product management team - New leadership team just didn't resonate with the team, and the heart and soul of EP is lost. New leaders came in and purged anyone that didn't immediately conform to new ideas. - I think the new CEO is a robot
