Pros

Great and nice people ! In the past, more individual autonomy/space to drive results. Great market position and customer relationships

Cons

Frequent changes of direction, very internally focused (lots of internal reports and presentations), moving to centralization with little understanding of the business in HQ. Strategy 20 years behind
