Pros

- Fairly positive and supportive work atmosphere - Attempts were made to retain employees as best as possible, even in the face of layoffs

Cons

- Succumbed to some goofy ideas and tangents from various persons and "gurus" - Got carried away for awhile with metrics and bean-counting that was mindlessly pointless - Lack of standing up to respectible work ethics. The company started signing up with any kind of work, no matter how questionable, to make a buck (tar sands, nuclear energy, etc.)
