Pros

Opportunity to make a difference. Security is hot with strong products in multiple product categories. Strong leadership team with mix of RSA executives and infusion of new talent from EMC. RSA has a small company feel with the benefits of being part of a larger entity (EMC).

Cons

Lack of resources to do all of the work required and management doesn't want to make the call on what cannot get done. Little to no funding for training or travel given the current economic climate. Work/life balance varies greatly from group to group. Constant re-organizations which causes too much internal/inward focus vs. customer focus. Too many meetings without agendas or clear action items coming out of the meeting.

Advice to Senior Management

Determine real source of RSA competitive advantage and align the company strategy accordingly.
