Business Outlook
Pros
- Fast changing business -- can be quite exciting - Expanding globally into new business lines - Generally strong management team - Leverages new technology (though some is ancient) - Many of the world's largest and well known companies are customers - Generally good communications from management - Small enough that you get to know much of the company - NASDAQ name has huge brand recognition
Cons
- Corporate bureaucracy - unusually high for a company of this size (<4K staff) - Too much going on - frequent strategic confusion among management - Not enough tech resources supporting most business units - Long work hours - but fun if you are up for the challenge - Disorganized budget planning processes
