Pros

Home working. Office canteen is just about acceptable

Cons

Senior management mentally stuck in a bygone era. No appetite for innovation. No leadership with sufficient competence to drive change. Senior management surrounds itself with “yes” people that bring zero innovation to the business. Customers are regularly oversold to. Fundamental inability to incorporate technology into everyday workflows or to execute on complex, non-publishing related deliverables.
