Pros

it is a job. nothing more than that at this point. It was the best place to work pre Andy and this private equity path he has put IP on.

Cons

The company’s chasing cost cuts through outsourcing and closing down 30+ facilities in 2026, but I don’t see how they hit $200M in reducing spendatures this year without gutting people in the towers even further on the business side. Leadership feels checked out. Andy just needs to make it to the end of 2026 for his golden parachute, so buckle up. Work-life balance is awful and totally self-inflicted, driven by this delusion that they still print money when no one’s really buying boxes anymore. Tons of nepotism, and leadership is basically frozen in time from a project 20 years ago.
