Played TL/SA role in several teams. Those teams usually became "Tier 1" teams with customers saying "we don't know how to do that yet, but these guys should be able to figure it out". Always did my best to maintain healthy meritocracy based culture inside the team. Propagated "product mindset" even despite working in "outsource vendor", which usually put our team on the same level with customer's onsite teams.
