Pros
The teams were comprised of likable professionals. The hybrid / remote work schedule is nice, in theory. Some of the technical fundamentals (were) sound.
Cons
There is no joy to be found here, not through professional accomplishment or fellowship. This organization has been reduced to a carcass, slowly consumed by (multiple) private equity carrion feeders and some degree of systematic management failure. Ministry Brands is a company without ideas and innovation, they cannibalized smaller church-focused software companies on an uncontrolled spending spree, promising resources and delivering chaos and ruin for customers and staff alike. Buried in technical debt with endless cycles of consolidation, they failed to meet changing market forces and failed to meet customer opportunities. As an employee, you cannot form effective work connections because teams are arbitrarily shuffled so frequently that unit cohesion cannot be maintained. The hybrid or remote work schedule does not yield productivity benefits because your calendar will stay full with sometimes hilariously ineffective meetings. Take this fundamentally broken arrangement and introduce the many challenges of offshore outsourcing and you are left with a business school case study on how to lose a Billion dollars of paper equity.
