Pros

There is a genuinely strong product portfolio and a lot of very capable people across the business. Many employees have been with the company for years, which speaks to the quality of the teams and institutional knowledge.

Cons

Recent product changes and cost-cutting exercises are raising serious red flags. Some decisions appear short-term, poorly thought through, and disconnected from product integrity and long-term competitiveness.
