Pros
(prior) brand, (prior) reputation, science/scientists, (prior) committed and talented co-workers, (prior) high ideals, marriage of 2 titans in social research (George Gallup & Don Clifton), (prior) well-meaning and principled, (prior) hard-working meritocracy.
Cons
Everywhere above where it says (prior), you currently have 180 degrees from that, over the last decade. The fall has been precipitous and breathtakingly fast. Though, given company "leadership", not at all unpredictable. Systematically driving off top/most-experienced talent until they're all replaced with younger, less-tenured (read: less expensive) plug-in talent gets you...well, precisely what you've got now. Creating a culture of fear and command and control, from a place of paranoia and myopia, gets you what you have now. Cutting every corner imaginable...with people, practices, ethics, finances, clients...gets you what you've got now: a company that is but a shadow of its own brand promise, a shadow of its former self, and a shameful example and cautionary tale of "what not to do" and "how not to run a company". You'd think "they'd" know better.
