Pros

- Had some good ideas and innovations in the past. - Former colleagues were nice.

Cons

- Now most ideas are just about trying to "copy" existing successful models. - In the past, there are some deep-tech expertising employees who not only love technologies, know them very well but are also very humble. Now almost all of them left (soon none will remain), replaced by new people who all talk, brag, and show off to impress higher-ups. Also they don't really understand the underlying technologies that the company really needs. Instead they just follow "cool" trend currently in the industry and think that it could be applied to the products, also as a way to impress managers. - Worse, those talkers when talking about the "cool" trending technologies, they actually only see a very superficial surface and really don't understand that it is not suitable for the current product lines. Or not knowing that if they were ever applied, the benefits would be dominated by the downsides. - I actually have doubts in the future of the company.
