Pros

Smart people.

Good perks, especially health benefits.

Varied product offerings, so one can pursue different verticals if interested.

Software used by 95% of the world's population. This means you can make a difference if you care enough.

Cons

Needs more focus on consumer business if it doesn't want to cede control over to Apple, Facebook, or Google. It seems the management just doesn't get that business and has no idea of how to succeed in it.

Advice to Management

Consumer, consumer, consumer. This is the next growth segment, and unless we have a good long-term business plan, our growth will be slower.
