Pros

Some passionate staff remain, though they have been leaving in droves.

Cons

The company is a shadow of what it used to be. Nepotism at every level (promos and leadership roles go to incompetent friends of Bratin and co), leadership is utterly clueless, lurching from half-baked strategy to strategy.

They have clearly stated that “employee satisfaction is not a core tenet of DO”.
