Pros

Interesting approach to database services

Cons

- Business priorities are random and don't connect to the success of the whole company. - Employees are treated like furniture that can be reassigned roles and responsibilities as will, regardless of employee skills and/or preference. - Annual review (regardless of how it is framed) are not based on data, rather, based on impressions of others
