Pros

-There have been layoffs company wide for all Departments -About 120 have been let go within the past 2 months

Cons

-We’re a Cybersecurity company that just let go of 2/3 of the GIS Team -Executive leadership keeps saying they’re pushing for IPO but took huge loan to pay out dividends -No faith that IPO will happen even with all these changes
