Pros

Amazing Content and Photographers. Dedicated and loyal staff.

Cons

Sr. Management is smart but clueless. Very out of touch with industry needs and trends and are often late to market with improvements or "innovations". They have completely lost their position as market leaders - they are definitely followers.
