Pros

Most of the people are great. Horizon Hobby has some of the most amazing employees of any company I've ever worked for.

Cons

Upper management is clueless about what the hobby community actually wants. Executive management pressures product development to release products that end up being inferior because they want the revenue. Short term gains are more important to Executive management than really great products.
