Pros

Company stock is performing well Breakfast is provided daily in HQ Compensation is competitive for the industry and region

Cons

A lot of the hiring is based on cronyism and nepotism, which demotivates existing employees Execs always say they have an open door policy, but they don't practice what they preach A lot of dysfunction in general with various teams, all about impressions vs the actual work product
