Lacks strategy and continually adds acquisitions without ability to integrate

Pros

remote work is a nice to have

Cons

continually adds acquired companies like its the first time they’ve ever done it. But it certainly is not the first one. How there’s no plans or organization around it is crazy. There’s zero upward movement or opportunities. Buying multiple companies while doing RIFs and not giving raises for years is a wild strategy.
