Pros

Most people are professional and strive to deliver results in this challenging company.

Cons

Generally company is poorly managed and is short sighted in terms of planning and growth. 1). Layoffs every year (sometimes twice a year) 2). Executive and Management churn, reorganizations occur all this time 3). No 401K match unless company hits revenue/profit targets 4). No STIP (bonuses) unless company hits revenue/profit targets 5). No allocated vacation pay - must request time off from manager 6). Limited to no opportunity for career advancement or growth

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.
