Business Outlook

Pros

Good people to work with at the peer level and strong investment in driving product development. Good community involvement and support

Cons

The business structure creates silos and does not encourage cross functional participation. The current growth of the company is strongly reliant on THV and this creates political noise within the company that employees sense
