Pros

Great worker bees. Very friendly environment. Smart people.

Cons

Execs are disconnected, short-sighted, and erratic. Move from 'premier focus' to another within a quarter. Very siloed. Looking for the cheapest way to make a product and are failing. Hiring junior staff and outsourcing to India.
