Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting pipeline; strong technical and scientific expertise; restructuring will probably lead to a healthier business model with improved long term perspectives

Cons

Many parts of the organisation still lack focus on actually getting new products developped; very hierarchical structures with significant disconnect between levels of management; restructuring left many employees in a fatalistic mood and management hasn't dealt with that yet...
