Pros

It has a good product portfolio internally developed. Some gap in the late 2010's however, good pipeline there after. Tradition and stable culture.

Cons

Slow decision making process and a lot of bureaucracy and internal politics. Senior managements turn over very quickly result in inconsistent strategy.
