Pros

Exciting, impactful technology and applications. Smart, collaborative employees & customers. Market growth

Cons

Toxic leadership forced so many really intelligent, hard-working people to leave. Short term focus & decision-making to keep goosing the stock price, at the cost of innovation and long term prospects. Project "Indomitable" created a culture where disagreement was implicitly punished and "yes-men" were promoted. People at all levels became scared to speak the truth to power - even worse than the O'Connell days! That almost the entire HR team left the company spoke volumes.

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
