Pros

Years ago they used to make money

Cons

Addicted to hardware, the majority of the revenue is from it after marking it 1000% and well just look at hardware companies these days. No room for upward mobility. Company is old and running out of ideas. Always reactive to keep their few big customers happy. Most the people are very very old and do just enough to get by day to day. Loosing huge ground to the competition. No actual cloud vision at all just smoke and mirrors. ITS organization is the oldest, most out of date I've ever seen. See all the other reviews on the IT group, they are dead on. R&D is slow, hugely overburdened with the mountains of ridiculous formal processes. I mean how many times do you need to write a formal design document for a feature that should take no more than 100 lines of code. Understaffed all the time. Never willing to hear new ideas, even the CTO level is closed to any new ideas or concepts. Do not see the competition or recognize the changing industry.
