Business Outlook

Pros

Great technology, nice benefits, great stock plan for employees, interesting work.

Cons

Senior Leadership team prefers to think and theorize rather then focus on managing the company for serious growth. Many silos are allowed to exist and divisions are given far to much autonomy. The company could have 2X the revenue if the C level executives had serious business experience.

Pros

Working with industry leading customers; Global experience

Cons

Insulated management culture, based on relationships, & disconnected from customers and rank & file workers; Ineffective management decisions are covered over with annual reorganizations, with little management accountability and blame assigned to subordinates. Cultural & market segment parity with Microsoft; a large ship that has lost its way.
