Pros

The people I work with and first-line supervision. Compensation is great. Offices are OK - no cubicles, just 2 person offices for the working stiffs.

Cons

Always laying off people to meet quartely goals without regard to their talents or what they contribute. They are outsourcing all they can to India regardless if the people in India can do the job or not. They're only looking at people expenses - not value. i.e. they don't consider what they get in return. Cheaper is better and that's it.

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.
