Pros

Wonderful and dedicated co-workers that gave everything despite the chaos and uncertainty surrounding the company

Cons

Company leadership over-leveraged on their failed Alzh. D portfolio, which led to deep losses and job cuts, loss of corporate confidence, and lack of clarity on future opportunities for growth and development. Company is still struggling to draw/retain top talent.
