Pros

Dedicated, Loyal employees. Very helpful people, lots of cooperation at the rank and file level.

Cons

The only real high-level decisions I have seen in the last two years is the acquisition of Nortel and decisions to cut costs. No real decisions on strategy.

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
