Pros

Interesting and challenging technology mix. Good scientists, engineers, talented and committed to the company's products and services.

Cons

Executive level management lacks the experience of leading a technology company, out of touch with industry and market trends and how their products play into that space, lack of strategic vision, myopically driven by an accounting/finance style that is misplaced and unfit.
