Pros

Company is so crazy that when you leave, you are a star at the next place. You are prepared for any and everything

Cons

Rudderless and directionless. Senior management has to be worst in America. Since KJK on board ... every year we build a plan his leadership team knows they can't achieve. But they don't speak up. Just terrible decision making all around. Or lack of decision making. Since senior management trust nobody and micro manages every decision. Things take so long to get done.

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
