Business outlook

Pros

Historically possessed a very positive culture and a clear sense of direction. Previous leadership teams were approachable and fostered a collaborative environment where promotions were based on merit. The core business area has significant potential if managed with a focus on technical excellence.

Cons

Hikes and growth are now dependent on favoritism and "buttering up" leadership rather than actual work quality or technical effort. Recent leadership changes have introduced a culture of internal politics and "empire building" rather than team support. There is no longer value for people who provide "justice to their work"; high-effort contributors are often overlooked for recognition. Hiring quality has dropped to a "seat-filling" model, impacting the company’s overall technical standards. Flat rigid hikes with a "take it or leave it" attitude from management regarding resignations.
