Pros

Transparent culture and good work-life balance.

Lots of good technical folks specializing in systems software, storage, and filesystems.

Cons

Very low synergy among internal business units. Widespread "not invented here" syndrome creates barriers for adoption of new technologies. Too much focus on a single, monolithic product.

Advice to Management

For faster growth, please move away from a singular focus on filesystem appliances (filers). Create small, startup-like teams to develop products in new technology areas (non-volatile media and flash, hyper-converged and cloud).
