Pros

Reputable company Picking up some new businesses Worked with some smart and hard working colleagues Ok benefits plan

Cons

No open communication from management on company's direction. Would have liked to see how each of us fit into the grand purpose of this movement. We are always moving, but never sure if moving in the right direction. Such a pity to lose valued employees this way. No targets given to staff. Lots of overtime and highly stressful. Feel bad to even take sick day or vacation.
