Business Outlook

Pros

- Strong existing platform - Great knowledgeable employees with strong skill sets

Cons

- Sense of strategy and direction have been lost a while back. Seems, on a recurrent basis, a new strategy props up and dissolves quickly along with the people that are part of the strategy - People running around like "headless" chicken - Too top heavy
