Pros

They invest in their people with training. Get to travel and work with people in other countries & cultures. Focused on sustainable environmental issues, open & diverse workplace.

Cons

Track record of M&A failures (Marconi, Redback). Use of clunky proprietary tools when OTS alternatives are available, e.g., bug tracking, video conferencing, document repository, collaboration, IT service, etc. Pattern of divesting right after a large investment. For example investing massively in Redback, only to shut it down, keeping a small piece of it in Budapest. For example Boulder and Warrendale.
