A Company In Decline
Pros: Still lots of very smart people, huge opportunity for impact given breadth of product portfolio, great opportunities to interact with customers.
Cons: Immense volume of politics, and very few senior people do what's actually right for the company and customers, choosing instead to do what's right for them and their career.  Every CVP runs their own empire, and tries to build that empire at the expense of other execs.  And our SLT, our Presidents, seem to have zero interest in working with each other to deliver truly compelling customer scenarios.
