Pros

Now that they are private, I can't think of a reason. It is a very difficult and mediocre place to work.

Cons

The ship is rudderless and senior management seems to be the only ones who don't know it. I don't think anyone in senior management has noticed that people just don't show up for work anymore. They were reasonably upbeat -- but suspicious -- when the company went private but the former management team has been largely removed and replaced with people who haven't had time to find out where the bathroom is -- let alone leading the company forward. It is an environment where they are cutting their way to making the numbers.

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.
