Pros

They have a lot of skilled and good people, but they continue to lose them. They pay well and benefits are ok. The technology is exciting and really could do wonderful things for the world.

Cons

Upper Management/Leadership - extremely poor communication and is overall dysfunctional. They just keep re-structing in hopes something will fix the dysfunction instead of actually leading the company. Company operates in a state of chaos and a reaction. They re-structure often in hopes something sticks. CEO surrounds himself with "Yes" people. They lack business processes, no concern of quality or their people that essentially run their business. Questionable accounting practices along with extremely poor cash management.
