Pros

Mid level associates (those who do the real work) are generally good and capable people Flexible working conditions Very real potential for the company to re-gain its greatness, but only if leadership takes a longterm view and stops concentrating on the next 6 months.

Cons

Unrealistic goals with insufficient resources Leadership regularly sets everybody up for failure An almost insane notion that we can do more with less and keep high quality A premium on training but we are given almost no opportunity (money and time) to do so

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.
