Pros

Brilliant coworkers, opportunities to work in any role with no fixed specializations unless you wanted it. Some amazing products (but an equal number of duds).

Cons

The management team more is more keen on a successful IPO rather than continued success of the business. As a result pay and promotions are greatly cut back to keep the business lean.

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
