Business Outlook

Pros

Good attempt at culture when it can be managed, good mid level and senior bosses.

Cons

Horrible work life balance. Continue to cut jobs without planning so those left have to take on more and more work. Constantly chasing shareholder approval so decisions are sporadic and short term
