Pros

Great people to work with

Cons

Constant layoffs. Work doesn't go away with the elimination of jobs the work just piles on the people remaining. Constant removal of benefits. No longer get vacation based on time rather get discretionary time off that can be denied if the business so decides. Flexibility to telecommute is no longer an option. Unbearable workloads. The entire C suites needs to be replaced before there is no longer a company to run. Performance reviews are done in a forced distribution of 20% high, 70% average, and 10% low.

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.
