Pros

We provided valuable software to financial institutions. The technology was cutting edge. The entire campus enjoyed working with each other.

Cons

The only downside was when we hired a CEO from the outside and he gutted the company. Those were a couple of bad years for the employees.

Product Solutions historically best suited only for large Financial Institutions. Innovation and risk taking encouraged but more internal investment needed to succeed in new product/market areas.
