Business Outlook

Pros

Huge global footprint and well established name

Cons

Poor leadership from the CEO down to the senior managers. It's a company that lacks vision and focus and focuses too much on building a corporate culture of copycat science. Focus on shareholder value with high dividends while not investing back into the company
