Pros
  • Good medical benefits
  • Brand name
Cons
  • Strong political tussle among teams
  • A lot of pressure on costing down, cut head counts, freeze hiring, achieving financial targets at all costs, freeze training, freeze travel, freeze budget for general purchases, and a strong corporate focus to keep selling its hardware business.
Advice to Management

Focus on strengthening revenue, identifying new revenue streams instead of focusing on cutting costs.

There's a finite amount that the company can cut.
