Merger has left the company in shambles

Technical analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free soda. Very flexible scheduling. The few competent team members left are very good and passionate. Middle management will listen to you and have your back.

Cons

After a recent merger all benefits and salaries have been axed. Many of the most competent team members have bailed out on this sinking ship. Morale is at an all time low. Avoid at all costs!
