Pros
Flexible hours and a casual work environment make JDAS a comfortable place to work.
Cons
Uninformed management with a propensity for micromanaging projects and a workforce fearful of "bucking the system".
Management does not listen to the advice of their employees, even when those employees have vastly greater experience in the field, and the culture dissuades these valued employees from pushing back against poor strategic and tactical decisions.
Too much reliance on a heavily structured, somewhat inflexible project management process with high, short term workloads and too many meetings.Advice to Senior Management
Flatten the management structure, select competent managers who are SMEs in the business aspects over which they have control and listen to those employees who are experts in their fields. For the most part, those employees are dedicated to providing a superior product.
