Vantaggi
Well-run. Company was in dire straights and deeply leveraged following Y2000 spin-off from Motorola Semiconductor. After CEO change, addition of new CFO, the company has not only become profitable, but well-positioned to grow. Senior management has leveraged core competencies in high volume commodities manufacturing into a money-making machine. They are not looking back.
Svantaggi
ON frequently acquires complementary companies. Because of redundancies from the acquisitions, there was a lot of concern about maintaining employment. Terminations are usually very unexpected and swift. There seems to be a lot of survivor syndrome. I'm not sure any of that is different from any other companies, these days, though. Stock prices seemed to fluctuate more than the general market.
