Pros

Competitive compensation relative to the scope of work Benefits are reasonable, though trending downward recently Strong presence of talented, intelligent, and dedicated people Limited growth and career development opportunities

Cons

New executive leadership lacks sufficient domain understanding and context Accountability is unclear across leadership layers The company is at a critical inflection point Heavy reliance on offshoring while internal knowledge is being diluted Aggressive cost-cutting without corresponding strategic reinvestment Overall direction feels unclear due to mounting technical debt, while leadership pursues AI narratives and acquisitions instead of foundational fixes
