Pros

The people at this organization are truly wonderful. They have the bones to create something amazing!

Cons

The company seemed to have an identity crisis. An unclear direction and watered-down strategy for a broad portfolio made it near impossible to be successful in any singular project. Staff are being asked to do more with less resulting in quantity results rather than quality.
