Pros

Good visión, enough compensation, good products and services and great and very talented individual contributors. You work based on results and you are the owner of your agenda.

Cons

A very bad culture has been imposed in the last 4 to 5 years. Extremely focused on the scorecard and taking out of the picture in many cases to the customer. The new executives are task oriented and want people who execute instead of intelligent people with different approaches or visión. Many decisions are based on impacting the scorecard even if they damage the company image, future business or customer relationship.
