Pluspunten
- Well respected products, established brand - A soup-to-nuts integrated system provides a good framework for innovation - Most engineers are very competent, likewise most executives
Minpunten
- The special attributes that made the company so successful have dissipated; becoming ":just another big corporation." - Review and promotion process is capricious, and employees get no opportunity to give feedback about the performance of their management - Poorly conceived processes weigh down engineers and make simple improvements ridiculously hard - Despite hand-wringing about quality, code quality is ignored; processes encourage a bandaid-only approach, resulting in a complicated mess - Getting anything major accomplished requires enormous patience and tenacity; many efforts slide out for years. - Increasingly, a stale, inbred and non-creative environment
