Pros

Comfortable culture, global businesses. Fantastic relationship with Financial Analyst community. How else to explain a stock P/E comparable to industry standards when organic growth is only 3% compared to industry standard of 18%+??

Cons

No R&D investment, stale products, emphasis is on cost cutting instead of innovation, mediocre leadership team. Lack of a visionary CEO. How many successful high-tech companies are run by an ex-CFO?

Pros

Used to be a wonderful place to work before being bought out.

Cons

There is no feeling of teamwork anymore. Management could be quite nasty and favoritism ran high. New manager seemed to like running things like it was a third world country.
