Business Outlook
Pros
Despite recent market events, they have a great product strategy and breadth that few if any competitors can match. Managers of the key businesses are strong and are finally embracing mass market needs. Top management keeps the focus largely on the areas that will be successful in the long run.
Cons
Management, at times, seems to repeat pendulum swing reactions to competitive threats or changing market conditions regarding people and investments. At other times, the wait is too long to get out. Lastly, managers at all levels need encouragement and reassurance especially in tough economic times when resource levels are under scrutiny. It's even harder to make difficult decisions when you are worried about your own job security.
