Pros

You get to tell yourself your customers need you more than you need them and surround yourself with like-minded people. Good products, great and knowledgeable hard working dedicated associates

Cons

Belief your customers need you more than you need them Dedication is a liability not see as an asset by management. Management believes all tenured employees are incompetent and new ideas from outside are needed - they aren't working

Once an exceptional company has now become bloated, bureaucratic, political, and slow to market.

Business Outlook

Pros

Global presence, owned by a charitable foundation, vast resources and technical expertise.

Cons

Bloated, top-heavy bureaucracy. Overwhelmingly complex and byzantine policies and procedures. Slow to innovated and bring new products to market. Risk averse to the point of paralysis. Most time spent implementing new initiatives, reorganizing, producing PowerPoint presentations, and sitting in a never ending series of internal meetings. Company is inwardly focused and fixated on serving top management. The CEO is treated like a God.
