Pros

Very limited training, almost none, including initial when just hired. It seems like management is not very much interested in investing in their employees to help them achieve growth and bring more value to the company. I hope it will change with the new CEO. Also, some managers are are lacking leadership skills making it work environment unproductive and unpleasant. Little or bad communication between different teams within the company (which is basically connected with bad management).

Cons

Lots of very nice smart people working there. Unfortunately, a lot of them leave because they do not grow professionally over time. Great Nasdaq stock purchase plan option.
