Pros
was a great company for 5 years or so on a positive trajectory. that ended in early 2011.
all the positives of pre-2011 are not worth mentioning at this point since they are no longer reality.
Cons
company suffered setbacks when products started to lose demand, and then turned into a very strange place starting in mid 2010 -massive overhaul of personnel and management team - much of which was unwarranted and sent a message to remaining employees that no matter how well you perform at your job, management will make up reasons to let you go if you challenge the new regime. they took it to extremes....the new top guy was a one-man army on a power trip, with arrogance and ruthlessness. nightmarish, political power struggles, etc.
By end of 2011, 95% of the US office was no longer there. some were fired/forced out in a backstabbing, machiavellian kind of way, even Sales guys who surpassed their numbers. many others just resigned once they realized how bad things were getting.
*lack of integrity and poor strategic vision by new management
*lack of job security
*draconian power tactics and despotic leadership
*lack of camaraderie due to high turnover rate, people coming and going often
*management team in Europe trying to micromanage US operations
