Pros
Veritas as long been known for being one of the premiere leaders in Data Protection and Information Management. It has some of the best engineers in the world, brilliant minds who solve extremely complex, difficult problems every single day.
Cons
Unfortunately, as with most companies that ultimately end up failing, history records time and again how these companies failed at the hands of a small number of executives who made irreparably poor choices, choices driven largely by greed, arrogance, and selfishness. Such is the case with Veritas today. Veritas has failed to innovate. It has failed to prove that it can meet the needs of new markets while simultaneously maintaining, or even growing, existing markets. Rather than investing in new resources for future R&D development, Veritas robbed resources from existing cash cow product lines thinking there would be little to no impact. They were wrong. Now, both are falling far behind the competition and it’s too late to recover.
