CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Although I don't care about it but I heard their visa sponsor is still friendly

Cons

* Leadership really doesn't know what is the right thing to chase and manufacture numbers to hit while asking you to justify the impact * there's almost never a time your goal in the beginning of the quarter is the same at the end of the quarter * politics speaks
