Business Outlook

Pros

- People are generally nice and friendly - Work with brilliant minds in our industry - Access to fantastic customer labs and resources - Marketing team does a great job

Cons

- IT needs a complete refresh - Seems to be a tendency of inaction when it comes to the hard things. This is found at every company, but this is also the reason why the company has been slow to adopt emerging technologies and trends.
