Pros

At least its a job and paycheck.

Cons

Company is in a fast downward spiral. Nortel acquisition is a disaster. They are reinstating a 401k mach after 1 year of no match only to add in 2 weeks of mandatory furlough and 15% workforce reduction because revenue is down and no one wants to buy products.

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.
