- Great food perks, though these have slowly been dwindling each passing week.
- Smart people; there are a handful of bright individuals that help you learn.

- Compensation and vesting schedule is below market
- Morale has been slowly taking a dip
Replace ineffective leaders with the right people.
Align priorities across all organizations and teams.
