Pros

For many years it was an exciting, challenging and highly collaborative env built around a flat mgt structure that accepted risk in the pursuit of innovation. Some great foot soldiers remain in the trenches, hence the 2 stars.

Cons

In recent years mgt change has killed all of the positives. A series of bad choices at the c-suite level has resulted in in-fighting, no real strategy, and a re-org that which will take years to recover from. I expect some sycophantic UME lackey will respond by saying I was a victim of the re-org or challenging what I’ve said. Such defensive responses are clearly signs of a company in trouble. Leaving was one of the best career decisions I have ever made.
