Best Time to Be Here

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to gain global experience. Leadership is exceptionally well educated. Company is in the right market at the right time. Very sincere staff. Everybody here seems to get along well. Fun place to be on a daily basis.

Cons

Great products on the consumer side but rigid pricing makes them not so attractive. Doesn't seem like pricing is thought out well. Could be missing huge revenue opportunities. Can be slow to make decisions.
