      Going Downhill

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some co-workers Benefits Paid time off

      Cons

      Masogonistic. Leadership. Many broken processes. Too many reps, not enough TAM. Often impossible quotas. “Promotions” with no raise but more work. Stalled growth, just look at their stock.
