Pros

Don't fall for a bunch of clearly fake 5 star reviews claiming all is great. Company bought by private equity in 2023 and has burn organization down to the studs and now trying to stabilize a thinking ship.

Cons

Too many to list. Toxic from CEO on down. Their adgena is driven by Private Equity bosses and not by customers or care for employees. Activity shuttering any US footprint and setting up overseas operations to keep a facade of business as usual. Expect what's left of business to be broken up and soldoff in next 18 to 24 months.
