Pros

The company is relatively stable.

Cons

Failed at diversifying and is losing market cap due to upcoming competitors. Management did not properly invest. This has resulted in tech losing market leadership. Lack of vision from management. Instead of building better features they revamp existing things\UI and sell it with marketing. Nothing innovative under the hood. Company is attempting to diversify by building a bunch of minimum viable products with low investment. Therefore, none of these products are good enough to compete with existing players. Poor pay, benefits and policies. Nepotism in hiring and promotions. Some key leads are good but they are overloaded with work due to poor quality of teams. There is no work life balance for them. This often leads to key folks switching every year or so and that team stalling for the next 6 months.

Advice to Management

Instead of building useless POC products that end up hurting the brand, pool your resources to deliver good key products and build from that. Trim useless management and teams, and focus resources and budget on key products.

This will also allow you to hire better resources.
