Pros

They can sell anything, good, bad, or otherwise

Cons

In Q1 2022 they spent hundreds of millions in acquisitions and had 200 open positions with management pushing hard to hire people as quickly as possible. By Q3 2022 they'd instituted a hiring freeze, discontinued product lines, and laid off ~10% of the company. That kind of extreme change in 6 months speaks for itself as a gross failure of basic planning and management.

Pros

Decent product, and global market penetration.

Cons

Mergers have been devastating for staff and morale - I saw three in my tenure. Merit does not seem to matter. When new management comes in, everyone is axed.
