Pros

They have a 4.5 day work week but not a reason to work there.

Cons

Company recently bought a large competitor and is critically top heavy. Can't win a contract due to being too expensive. Overboard on diversity and inclusion while stiffing US military veterans. Management is of the kiss butt type where a female or minority will be praised for just breathing while the workers in the field are considered disposable. Not a good place to be.
