Collaborative environment, but low data and process maturity
Pros
Friendly and approachable colleagues, with a collaborative work environment that makes day-to-day interactions smoother. Good interpersonal relationships across teams, which helps in resolving issues quickly in the short term.
Cons
The data area operates mostly in a reactive mode, focusing on firefighting rather than building sustainable and structured solutions. There is low maturity in governance and planning, with unclear scope definition in many requests, leading to frequent misalignment on deadlines and expectations. Additionally, there is a limited level of data literacy among users, which impacts the quality of requests and overall efficiency. At times, pressure is applied in a non-constructive way, including premature escalations to leadership.
