Pros

Great "team" feeling in the "trenches" - as long as it's not time for performance reviews.

Cons

Responsibilities seem to go from "we" to "you" - it seems that some of the people that advance the most and/or have longevity are those that can easily assign those responsibilities. An amazing number of team members seem to offer help just prior to performance measurement time. That direction often changes shortly after merit increase notifications are distributed. A double-edged sword of cooperation - team members will readily help members of their OWN team FIRST, regardless of MEASURED workload of their team compared to others. The success of the TEAM is paramount to the success of the GROUP of teams.

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.
