Pros

- Access to industry-leading GIS technology and resources - Opportunities to collaborate on interesting spatial projects

Cons

- Multiple restructures resulted in significant staff turnover and loss of experienced professionals - Increasing number of managers from non-GIS backgrounds with limited understanding of the industry - Shift in focus from people and quality to revenue and sales growth - Employees measured and treated as numbers rather than valued team members - Limited emphasis on staff retention, support, or long-term career development - Heavier involvement from overseas ownership has made the culture more corporate and profit-driven

There always has been 2-3 years cycles of good years and then bad years and bad meaning culture getting toxic as the company tries to do things differently and back stabbing begins
