Business Outlook

Pros

Great corporate culture caring for employees. Took care of employees but it was disconnected all over the organization. Very frustrating at times.

Cons

A rudderless ship and no backbone in middle management. Weak generic players all over the place. Very clubby, especially if you were outside the club. No downside for failing.
