Pros
The company embodies four core values, which are known as the four I’s. Integrity, Innovation, Impact, and Individual. Think of it as the four P’s of marketing, its essential, it provides a good learning framework, and it is quite catchy. If you had to distill those four I’s down to a common denominator, into a singular ordinal, it would be the word ‘Caring’. The company just CARES, it cares about its people, it cares about its customers, it cares about the market, and it cares about how-to improve the way it serves all of the aforementioned.
Cons
The company is driven to grow intelligently, while staying focused on its core and its values. This requires capital allocation decisions that may run contrary to the institutional imperative which can become disruptive in the interim but inevitably it sets up the business for long-term value creation. To the outsider, this may be interpreted as a con because it is countervailing to conventional wisdom but when reviewed diligently, it becomes apparent that strategic decisions are rooted with the mindset of sustaining enterprise value-generating and healthy long-term growth.
