>How can anyone on the outside be sure there aren't comparable problems which still aren't widely known?

I'm not sure how any company can provide this proof. However, the rage felt by all the truly dedicated individuals who watched their equity decline in value has drastically changed the culture, everyone is on watch to make sure that doesn't happen again. In addition, new technology and new teams have the explicit purpose of monitoring and maintaining compliance, which I believe are effective. The internal shift to being a "compliance company" is not just marketing speak, it is real.

As a former employee, I can say it's totally different than it used to be. Everyone associated with the problems has been shown the door, major house cleaning. The atmosphere is much more serious now, it's a completely different company.

That said, many early employees would have corrected these problems if they were widely known. It was not the lax environment some articles made us out to be. Everyone had to pull their weight and we were very serious about getting everything right. It was a huge disappointment to discover that some department leads allowed this stuff to exist, reducing the value of the many late nights myself and others put in.
