Pros

Good hardware. Innovative software features.

Cons

Poor marketing. Bad middle management. Ineffective software QA. Time-consuming TAC process. They want to be a Fortune 100 partner, but they aren't mature enough to be there. The company has no internal directory, so it's difficult to find contacts. They do this to "protect" their employees from poachers; I guess the CEO hasn't heard of LinkedIn.

Advice to Management

Don't set up new employees with existing customer bad architecture problems and expect them to guide the problem to a solution when former seasoned employees couldn't get the job done themselves. That's known as a setup.
