Palm – “Huge potential for greatness or disappointment.”

Pros

Excellent individual-contributors and a passion for improving the customers' lives through outstanding products. Camaraderie and support from colleagues that makes this a special place to work and grow.

Cons

Disconnected sense of fiscal and customer reality exhibited from the highest levels of the company that often lead to impractical or impossible expectations for product delivery time lines. Products need to be launched when ready, not when the market dictates and only by building a successful team, motivating them and allowing them to do their jobs will success follow.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to focus on improving core product functionality and performance with less attention to outside distractions that promise much but fail to deliver such as services and add-ons.
