Pros
Small independent "company" within the greater VSP org allows for flexibility beyond your stated role, leading to greater career opportunities. Solid market leadership in legacy products in a stable industry funds next gen products, allowing for a variety of opportunities to gain experience. Incredibly charismatic President in Steve Baker balanced out by the more serious but technically accomplished and extremely intelligent COO. Finally brought in a world class VP of Sales (top of the industry worldwide but they had to go to Ireland to find him). The rest of the senior management team is now working well under these three, all good people.
Cons
Eyefinity is not always granted an appropriate level of resources from the parent company to achieve it's full potential or even adequately maintain some shared service operations/functions. Also recovering from a "hangover" associated with bad hires at the senior level in the last few years. Even though all these people are now gone, it has scarred some of the longer term employees who suffered under a toxic regime.
