Pros

Global perspective, great talent and solid products. Pro/Con Benefits were amazing prior to 2018 but now industry standard.

Cons

Questionable choices in acquisitions are haunting the company and management is still trying to recover. Necessary layoffs went way to far (by 50%). Well placed Managers of poor performing or dismantled groups reassigned and promoted to business areas they didn't understand or manage well. Managers are ineffective and fearful of current group head. Revolving door management, good ones leave or fired, bad one stay. Products they believe are the future are dragging the company down while the core money makers are left to languish without proper support. Over-complicated business and customer management systems.
