Pros

Massive layoffs, over 30% of the work force was just shown the door, over 50 people fired, so that the senior management team keeps its salaries going...

Cons

No training what so ever, swim with the sharks. If you don't know something, you are crucified. The current CEO and CO-CEO are both ill equipped to lead a large organization. COO and a bunch of VPs were hired who did nothing. To put it in simple words shop ebay and the likes for used equipment whether a network switch or a data center generator - no difference. Data center fires happen (2 within months in 2023) , law suits pile up, ship starts sinking, employees pay the price. No new business is coming, beating on the old customer base that is running for the hills with poor service and price hikes. A lot of us got recruited by good clients to spare themselves the abuse.
