The place is falling apart

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

It has the potential to be great, but senior leadership needs to be replaced.

Cons

The CEO, Bob Smith, is an out of touch, controlling, and incompetent leader. Every time a new policy is instituted, it draws nearly universal ire because of how draconian and poorly thought out it is. Most recently, they're requiring 5 days a week in the office even if that means you stare at Teams meetings the whole time.
