STG - Valuable or not?
Pros: The work is very interesting.  There is a lot of variety in what one can work on and can learn.
Cons: There is a lot of churn in the products supported.  It is unclear what our direction is.  It is unclear where we will be in a few years.  Is this a sustainable area?  There is a long rich history for many of the product lines, but it sure seems like odd management decisions will prevent future growth.  The people are smart and talented.  We just need more 'vision' and commitment from upper management.  This is still a profitable area, and yet we don't really get treated as an area of value.
