Pros

Test division seems to be on the right path, no layoffs so far this year. It's the first time in years that has happened.

Cons

Executive leadership is disengaged, CEO is disconnected. That's better than having any of them involved, though, at least we don't get yelled at if they're not involved. Chaos for years, not getting better - new leaders all the time, no stability, people come and go. Worker bonus payouts not clear last year, no explanation why. People outside of the US might as well work for some other company, worse for them.
