Pros

Not many recently. Maybe good upside from a stock perspective given the low stock price.

Cons

Where do I begin. Incompetent middle/upper management and executive team. Poor long term incentives. Terrible culture within and between teams. No exemplification if touted culture by executives. Promises made be leadership team that are reversed quickly or before those promises were ever even attempted. Inefficiencies all over the place with no action from leadership to fix them. Amazing policies to claw back cash spend, like eliminating cups in the coffee rooms and keeping travel per diem below federal rates while continuing to blow crazy amounts on travel and expedite fees to meet timelines that are a joke. The list goes on… what was a once fun, promising, innovative place to work has become a prison.
