Pros

People and products are interesting and world-class.

There is no shortage of opportunity to change the world there.

Cons

The company is very hard to move. There is a strange dichotomy between risk aversion in the parts of the business that make all the money (CAD Software) and a complete lack of accountability in the science project side of the house.

Advice to Management

Free the people in the core business to take risks and find a way to compensate them. Otherwise, the best and the brightest will stop working on the important things and do TED talks instead.
