Pros

Strong CEO and a great mission. Leadership is a mixed bag

Cons

Unable to figure out how to become a technology driven company. Finance is too powerful, technology leadership not strong. Result is focus on quarterly numbers at the expense of longer term investments needed to develop innovative solutions.
