Pros

Large and growing market Strong, compact, complementary product porftolio Strong global band - although only around web filtering Large customer base

Cons

Top heavy compensation (2 additional levels of VP added in sales in last 2 years with flat growth, why do they need a president and a COO each at north of $500k per year total comp) Rampant Politics Micromanagement at officer level (even relatively minor decisions must be approved at highest level by only 2 people) Flaky executive recruitment has resulted in repeated hires and fires at VP level Uncompetitive compensation below executive level Low employee morale Weak sales execution Now competing against huge cmopmetitors, no longer big player in market, risk of being squeezed out competely over long term
