Pros

There is still beer on most Fridays, and the gym is nice.

They have purchased new equipment for the conference rooms.

They got rid of their CEO.

Cons

It has lost all of the innovation and vision that it had 10 years ago.

They are super late to the party on new technologies, i.e., all-flash, cloud, and clustering.

Internal tools could use a refresh badly.

Wage is below local market value in the area.

The last round of layoffs is proof that they do not think things out before executing.

Advice to Management

Get rid of the underperformers instead of executing restructures involving the entire organization.
