Pros

New leadership has taken initiative to cut down on inefficiencies throughout the company. It's exciting to see how our product is constantly evolving and remaining competitive in the market. I really appreciate the fact that hard work is rewarded and acknowledged.

Cons

There was an issue of over-hiring in the past and it was sad to see people leave because of it, however, now that the management has shifted, you can see it won't happen again and that they are looking at the bigger picture overall.
