Pros

The benefits were solid The stock did well

Cons

In my opinion it was a hostile and negative work environment Everyone was out for themselves Lack of vision or empathy from the management People were afraid to communicate with each other People who should have been let go where kept on and moved around There was no career growth - it was very male and senior top heavy They pay below market for any job which is not sales related They talk a big game they do not back up their values
