Matrix reorg has left everyone confused with roles and responsibilities. Lack of work/life balance. Management discourages collaboration, favors silos. Front office disconnect with back office.

Pros

Excellent cooperation with team. Still competitive remuneration package. Independent working is possible to some degree. Still good reputation as an employer.

Cons

Too many guidelines, cumbersome processes, one size fits all approch. Top management does not lead by example, new vision is not clear.

Pros

Colleagues are for the most part technically astute, collaborative, and focused on the actions that will produce the best results for the client and the organisation.

Cons

There is an established process for everything which must be followed, regardless of the time sensitivity of the issue. There is not always a clear line to an ultimate decision maker for resolving some conflicts. Lack of diversity at EB level.
