- Debt heavy balance sheet severely hampers company's ability to take bold decisions that could spearhead growth.
- Lack of technical or managerial role models to look up to.
- Slowly and steadily losing technical leadership and competence.
- Compensation is below average. Also there are no stock options for us technical people.
