Business Outlook

Pros

A technically diverse company with some fantastic people who are experts in their fields and passionate about what they do.

Cons

The potential of the company is hindered by a small but very influential minority whose only motivation is to serve themselves and who are impacting retention of the right people. There is also too much management by fear.
