Business outlook
Pros
Small company with amazing global reach. Opportunities to contribute significantly often arise. Interesting technologies, good challenge for engineers. ISS has good reputation in transportation industry. Competitors respect ISS. Great domestic and international partners.
Cons
Unusual for such a small company to be public--quarterly pressures sometimes get in the way of building for the future. Work atmosphere can be highly dependent upon executive team, though strong middle managers can make a difference. Success of legacy products, and large install base, has created inertia which often hampers ability to respond quickly to competitive demands, with limited resources available.
