Pros

The salaries are good and when they do pay bonuses they are good. At least, before the buyout they were. The future remains to be seen.

Cons

Silo mentality. Constant churn of upper management. No respect for old-timers. Outsourcing pressure just to make 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.
