Pros

Good base of legacy products and services, good reputation for strong products

Cons

The executive management is weak and has been since going private. Not sure who the CEO has maintained his role - he has no people skills. Corporate strategy for a decade has been "pray for a buyer."

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.
