Business Outlook

Pros

A bunch of very smart and kind people. Best culture in tech.

Cons

Rapidly losing market share and due to years of soft feature launches and unable to land anything that doesn't generate revenue in the short term, there isn't much long term investment that can now be used for strength. New CEO will turn the ship around, but it will be a long time before it can be done.
