Pros

The markets that Blue Coat plays in are very relevant. There are huge opportunities for Blue Coat to do well with their technology.

Cons

Trying to act like a very large company with being overly process-laden. There is time and place for rigid process but not when you are trying to attack new markets where innovation is required and you are not quite sure what to do. Not allowing much autonomy at any level of management below the executive staff - the smallest things require a full powerpoint presentation in order to be considered.
