Past its prime
Some really smart people, and some really good managers.
A rich company, built some good products.
Lots of opportunity if you land in the right team and a good manager.
Lots of lousy managers.

Lots of deadwood.

Get back to basics: honesty, integrity, and providing value to the customer.
Get rid of the deadwood.
Get a CEO who can stand up to Bill and the board.
