Pros

Great mission you can believe in. Their technology is good, some major progress seems plausible -- assuming things go as planned. Superior cost structure -- but it doesn't matter if the comp is selling at a loss.

Cons

Compensation isn't great anymore after their financials deteriorated -- only a select few senior executives get stock now. Lots of great people left through restructuring or due to waning prospects for the business. New management team is MIA.
