Pros

Deep history in research, even though it's outdated. Most of the good people are forced out.

Cons

Poor leadership lies to employees about the company's progress. Confusing processes. Outdated technology. Multiple layoffs (who's next?). They are good at putting lipstick on pigs, but it's worse than you think. King George doesn't listen to sage advice and won't step down.
