Pros

Strong legacy brand. Smart people who want to do smart things.

Cons

Lacks strategic direction and leadership. Multiple layoffs has chipped away at the foundation and culture. Need a CEO and executives willing to make bold decisions and communicate a clear strategy and plan on how to get back to growth and higher stock shares.
