Pros

A new direction in the past few years is genuinely trying to elevate employees. Much better focus than in the past should help them be more competitive in a space that is getting more crowded with fewer growth opportunites.

Cons

Multiple rounds of 1% or less layoffs is feeling a bit too regularly. Yet to be see if it is an unspoken plan, but appears to be very focused trimming of higher cost employees and transitioning work to offshore business where possible.

Pros

Lots of work. Good people and decent company. Old Reno building, very lackluster, not much of cohesiveness and it was like people were still more remote, than in the office. Decent managers and co-workers.

Cons

Seemed like hundreds of constant gaming license apps and renewals all the time. I wasn't really getting the training on the installs and upgrades, bit of a learning curve.
