Pros

The engineering team is formed of skilled and experienced members working hard toward building a great product. Customer service is top notch!

Cons

Lack of leadership and experienced management. No clear vision or strategy. Goals and products are dictated. All of this makes it a toxic environment where most of the good, hard working employees want to leave.
