Pros

Technically challenging so a good place to innovate. We are allowed to contribute.

Cons

Our GM in Atlanta made a comment at an all-hands meeting that wasn't respectful of the people that have contributed to the success of our company. He said that a recent interviewer looking for a job said he wouldn't work for us because we were just a bunch of "old white guys". I'm not a racist and we as a company welcome anyone that has the qualifications. Something like this can be dealt with behind the scenes rather than making the majority of the people that have contributed to the success of the company feel unwanted.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
