Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Decent amount of vacation is offered for full time salaried employees.

Cons

Top down management style of keeping employees in the dark. Top heavy management, sometimes one upper level manager has 2-3 direct reports. Country club culture where workers are sacrificed so that upper level managers can keep their jobs and perks. Micro management of employee activities. Skilled professional employees are often treated like toddlers here.

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.
