Pros

Pay was fair for new employee.

Cons

This place is no more than a money suck by the current round of executives (4th CEO in ~7years) who are riding the downward spiral at more than 20x the income of mid-point salary of employees; it is an old, tired IT firm in steep decline. They only have 700 customers, down from 1200 in 2018. This company once had a $13B market cap; current market cap is $3B, but executives remain, board remains and no strategy to revitalize or transition. They have layoffs three times a year, always just under the number that requires public notification, the severance packages now max out at 3 months. There is no career advancement. The best people have left, many pushed away due to high salaries, relative to company's finances but below industry norms.
