Pros
Strong technology... Product is better than the competition and 1:1 discussions with customers will prove that. Diverse skill sets... People move from discipline to discipline more than other Fortune 500s I've worked at and they seem to hire people with broad backgrounds
Cons
Poor marketing... Reserved about clearly communicating product benefits more so than competitors even tho the data shows stronger product performance; struggles to focus resources on specific products or offerings and customer segments...spread thin trying to be all to all Recognition... Few promotions and pay increases... Not comfortable allowing people to love departments every two years as in many other marketing departments I've worked... Too many people get too comfortable in 'old ways'
