Pros

Good benefits, highly profitable business (easier decision-making), overall easy-going ways-of-working.

Cons

Leadership completely lost - there is no clear vision of where the company is going, fat-cat structure in senior leadership with too many almost-retired cruisers, latelly terrible climate in office due to restructuring. High level of outsourcing done wrong.
