      Pros

      + Very well resourced: financially, capabilities, coverage + Market leader + Engineering, manufacturing, design excellence

      Cons

      - Political: Middle managers add very little value. Protective and territorial rather than problem solvers and advocates for employees. Self interested. - Stale: Lack of willingness or understanding to innovate and be dynamic - Hubris: As market leader, hubris has set in and arrogance with that. - Sales & Marketing: Lack of understanding and willingness to act as a market leader and set standards, try new things.
