Pros

Cons
Leadership lacks transparency and accountability. Decisions often feel arbitrary and disconnected from team input. Favoritism, Poor communication, They love buzzwords like innovation and collaboration but in practice it's blame-games and non-existing management. No product knowledge, product owners are clueless and often features are scraped from the releases because they were not required at all. Career development is nonexistent. Promotions and recognition are based on politics. Low morale, and no real effort to address employee concerns. Shield FC talks a big game externally, but internally it’s chaotic and disorganized. NO actual development plan, Sprints begin without the team knowing what they will work on. Bad hires in the development team shifted the vibe - new hires stick out like sore thumbs.
