      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stable job, some smart people, lots of variety in products to work on. Internal process to move is straightforward. People are ethical.

      Cons

      Not optimized for growth. Too much focus on visibility and not on impact. Behaviors are rewarded as much or more as results.
