Pros

1. Leadership position in many segments of its market 2. For many people, ability to work from home

Cons

1. Company is too top-heavy: lots of directors and managers with no reports; 2. Since people are too dispersed -- many key people working out of their home with only an occasional cameo appearance in the office -- communications are a challenge.

All future growth outside USA. Forced 25days of shutdown with little flexibility. Treat employees as expenses. Will lay off people with out any input from 1st level manager. They do not trust their own employees.
