Pros

Strong list of legacy customers. Good core technology, creates 'stickiness' of solution.

Cons

Total lack of leadership. Incompetent people promoted to CXO levels consistently. Rampant nepotism, favoritism, bias and racial discrimination in hiring/firing decisions. Lack of board oversight. Tons of churn in leadership recently has made things worse. Resorting to a lot of talk vs any tangible actions to transform the business. Would NOT recommend as a place to do meaningful work and learn.
