Pros

Remuneration was OK. Good share options if you have spent (or wasted) your working life there.

Cons

Dreadful management - no true visionaries to drive innovation. It’s all about putting lipstick on the pig of existing products.

Advice to Management

Slow and gradual decline (note the continuous layoffs for the past decade) will never stop until the board replaces Chuck with someone that goes beyond the tired Silicon Valley of 1980s rhetoric.
