Pros

Some very smart and creative people, dedicated to their work and to each other.

Cons

Way too much politics; slippery non-performers with good manners rose through the ranks to form an impenetrable layer of middle management sludge. Great people left or were laid off.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
