Pros
People are great and the legacy conditions of the workplace from the founders still exist to some extent. Free soday, pinball, March Madness on TVs around the office are still part of the culture. Hockey tickets and other perks are spread across employees. The anualy President's Club trip is first rate.
Cons
CEO has no clue on how to run a business. He made his "bones" in M&A, and the three acquisitions he has made are absolute disasters. Just ask cutomers of those acquired companies. Respect is a dirty word, and even the best people with years of significant and key contributions to SQI's survival are castigated and cast aside publicly for the smallest of infractions. Employment is a revolving door with middle managers having short careers.
