Great people and products, but management struggles with priorities

Pros

Good position in the industry. Great people. Great products.

Cons

Management needs to stop chasing stock prices and actually care about customers and employees. Get your priorities straight then profits will follow. Constant layoffs and reorganization won’t help. Why do we break down businesses into silos again after integrating BUs?
