Pros

Had good operations and functional leaders (all gone now). Some interesting work, and generally was a great work atmosphere with good coworkers. Good mix of product to help keep a stable workforce and allow people to move between businesses.

Cons

Last three CEOs from the US and DAE have butchered the culture and are destroying the company. Many engaged and knowledgeable employees are being fired without cause. Seems to be actions taken without a good strategy for keeping the quality and safety of the employees or the product.

Pros

There are still many dedicated employees across the organization who care deeply about the work, customers, and results. Historically, the company benefited from strong institutional knowledge and a collaborative environment that supported operational success.

Cons

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in culture and organizational approach following senior leadership changes. This included significant turnover and restructuring that affected both personnel and established processes. As a result, many long-standing practices and experienced team members were replaced or deprioritized quickly, and in some cases without fully retaining institutional knowledge that previously supported efficiency and consistency. This transition has contributed to a decline in morale and trust among portions of the workforce. Communication and employee engagement have also felt more top-down, and the organization has, at times, felt more disconnected from the operational teams who execute the day-to-day work.
