      Good company but trending in the wrong direction

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -People are by and large very friendly, intelligent, and humble -Strong culture of work life balance -Work your way = great flexibility -Good compensation

      Cons

      -Executive management is cutting the legs out from under the company -Lawsuits and constant restructuring create an air of uncertainty and impact the financial performance of the company -Current trajectory means that stock options are virtually worthless and that you should expect roughly 50-60% of your expected bonus

      Multiple people are staying ONLY because of the pay.

      Pros

      Pay/benefits, team members, interesting/challenging projects

      Cons

      Chaotic environment - lack of structure, out of touch managers, no consistent dependable communication plan, NO leadership and managers who don't manage anything - they dictate what they think needs to be done along with how to do it, refusing input from the wealth of experience and knowledge of team members. If you speak up, you're patronized. There's no voice survey for employees to provide feedback about their direct leadership, who thus is not held responsible.
