Cons

>Too much management and fewer people to work >BA and architect changing very frequently so most of the business approval is pending >German counterparts still have the mentality of a service-based and waterfall way of working >Least involvement of PO and architects >If you make new architectural improvements you would meet with resistance cause some people(especially senior developers in Germany) wouldn't do the extra work of learning
