Pros

- Continued investment and development in cutting edge technology - Strong technology infrastructure (hardware, software, network, content) to provide material to consumers

Cons

- Engineers frequently say things like "in the US, consumers do..." and frequently get it wrong without doing proper research - Strong silos and "not invented here" culture - Long product development cycles (roadmaps to infinity) - Meetings are death by Powerpoint

Pros

Was an upcoming brand with a loyal fan-base Had good exciting products with the Sony heritage Relatively small and agile Flat team structures with high levels of responsibility

Cons

Senior management lost its way - lack of a clear vision and prioritized volume/market share growth too much R&D product development missed the boat High pressure
