Business Outlook

Pros

-Good work life balance -Immediate managers and supervisors are skilled, faced zero politics

Cons

-Changes CEO/long-term strategy every 3 years, so chances of being employed for more than 2 years is low. -Frequent layoffs and glut hiring. Large number of people hired within 1/2 years got laid off, so why hire them..? -No vision/plan for future, feels like a sinking ship.
