Pros

I am still getting paid and can still at least focus on my core job which is serving customers and ensuring they get value for money.

Cons

It suffers from a blinkered CEO and management that came aboard six years ago to wrap the company in a bright bow, put it in the centre of the shop window and sell it to the highest bidder. Six years later, the bow is looking a bit old and dusty, a couple of parts have been sold off and the rest is getting old and faded. It's a good job we have good people at the customer-facing end of the business who know what they are doing because there is absolutely no guidance and direction from above.

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.
