Pros

Very few pros, unless of course you are into micro management, enjoy being publicly called out by execs and/or you are looking for a negative environment in which to work.

Cons

The execs seem to go out of their way to be negative. Whatever growth there is has been achieved via acquisition; there is no reality-based organic growth story. Novell is going to be a ridiculously heavy anchor on a company that is already facing stiff headwinds in COBOL and mainframe related software solutions. Therefore they will resort to their tried and true process - - Riff, cut costs, manage EBITDA, rinse and repeat.

Not my cup of tea

Pros

Very few to mention. The execs are quite smart. The company is extremely rigorous about managing costs and driving shareholder returns, no matter what.

Cons

Not enough space to do this justice. Mean spirited organization. Duplicitous and Machiavellian leadership abounds. People do not matter to leadership, any words to the effect that people do matter are simply window dressing.

Cons
