Pros
It beats being unemployeed. The best thing was the people I worked with on projects (do not read senior management, but consultants and managers).
Cons
Serious lack of leadership and focus by senior leadership. Senior leadership was not concerned about career growth. They looked at consultants and even managers as commodities. This company is just simply poorly managed. The CEO is delusional in the fact that he thinks he can make a blue chip organization. He has a command and control style, but the problem is that he has no experience or knowledge for what he is doing. He needs to realize that it is time for him to step aside and let someone who really knows what they are doing to take over. The CEO's lack of understanding this requires him to replace good people with not so smart "yes-men."
