Pros

Excellent technology exposure. Great people; strong engineering discipline. Strong management/leadership. Supportive, delegation-oriented management. Excellent compensation. Reasonable work-life balance.

Cons
  • The occasional overly aggressive sales commitment
  • Unclear engineering career growth path
  • Some challenges around managing the cross-functional organization effectively
Advice to Management

Too much divestiture? Shedding some of Stratton's half-baked content plays made sense, but is shedding security services/identity protection services going too far?
