Good place to work, needs a clear path forward

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Great talents in the company Good perks

Cons

Product direction since the merger was seen as not in stone for a while which led to multiple customers and prospects wait for a while to decide what to do. Need better product differentiators compared to cloud first party offerings. Higher management is clearly moving to using lawyers to stop the flow of good people out the door
