Pros

Super flexible work - 100% remote at this point Not micromanaged

Cons

Company and revolving leadership are all obsessed with cost-cutting Transition to Cloud and Subscription models are not successful Old-school (1980s) mentality about work Company culture is toxic and most employees are ready to retire Not agile in the least No innovation - always playing catch up to competitors Steady salary but almost no bonuses and no promotions over the last 8 years I've been there No training, no support - you're on your own to just "figure it out" Other employee personalities are a major obstacle - pessimism about change abounds

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.
