Pros

Smart people, great benefits, and the opportunity to work on big, challenging problems.

Cons

Currently changing too many things at the same time – the engineering model and the transition to services. The company is trying to duplicate the new generation companies. I am worried if it is losing its identity in the process.

Advice to Management

Leverage what made the company successful so far, and then evolve it towards the future.
