Pros

Decent salary, fun colleagues, casual dress, satisfactory benefits (tho not as such as two years ago as now my contribution is twice what it was).

Cons

No advancement opportunities, the "Agile" environment is a pressure cooker of chaos and finger pointing, work / life balance WAS superior - but now becoming another hoop to jump through so that you understand that if you want time off or need to work from home for a day, you should feel properly guilty about it.

Thanks for taking the time to post a comment. Your use of capitals really implies that you are not feeling valued in your current role and hampered by the layer of management above you. I would really encourage you to raise your concerns with your senior management team as this is not the culture and environment that we need for our colleagues to flourish and be successful. Good luck
