A Once Great Company
Pros: 1. Can afford to continue to buy market share.
2. Job security at individual contributor level as headcount seems to be the most important metric and Mark Hurd seems to want to keep it as high as possible.
3.
Cons: Where to start:
1. Very low morale.
2. Mixed messages from Executive Mgmt about direction of company. Seem to be saying one thing, but doing another.
3. Little to no growth in business. Margins being maintained by cost cutting. Most employees are making less now than they were 3-5 yrs ago. 
4. Average tenure of personnel has dropped considerably.
5. Cloud story is a mess.
6. Mgmt positions have become a revolving door over the last 18 months.
7. Evolving culture of micro-management.
