Business Outlook

Pros

Solid direction from the top. CEO is approachable, unassuming, and well versed in the business. Cray has built the fastest open science supercomputer on the planet.

Cons

Legal has to review and approve everything, often acting as a brake on progress and sales. Too many approval steps are required from people only tangentially involved in an issue.
