Valuable learning but hindered by outdated technology and culture
Pros
Great learning experience for advancing your career.
Cons
Large generational gap in approaches to technology and problem solving. Environment was difficult to introduce new ideas to solve problems. Technology and processes are very outdated and very behind. The outdated systems make it harder to complete the projects on time because you are working against the systems. To deliver outcomes that could be completed easier with updated software. Everything takes twice as long or more to complete because of all the people you have to go through to get on board. Didn't have a technical team. Not a lot of movement for support or creating change. A ton of belittling and bullying for power dynamic going on. Not a lot of flexibility for working from home.
