Pros

Director level and below management is good. Engineers that are left are knowledgeable and helpful. Flagship products still have decent quality, even if they are becoming obsolete

Cons

Upper management seems to have no grounding in reality. Product managers make increasing uninformed and bad decisions. Decisions are continually made based on an IPO that is never going to happen because of the lingering debt that never gets paid off.

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.
