      Pros

      "New Company feel" - with all the re-organisation that is going on and all the new staff taking up positions - this feels like a whole new start-up company, so maybe opportunities will be knocking on my door.

      Cons

      Back-stabbing seems to be the new name of the game - who can you bring down today so others avoid looking at your performance too closely. No sense of team - its a me culture, you have to look good at all costs to be the most popular in town No flexibility when looking at individual circumstances for not being able to re-locate and in other cases - being forced to re-locate and given a lower position with less salary - woopee! Fear - oh boy, you do not want to be seen to be negative at all costs - to be seen as negative = loosing your job

      Good people, management leadership is poor and deteriorating employees are leaving in droves.

      Pros

      They are investing in the physical assets and have nice facilities. They are loaded with cash after declaring bankruptcy and dumping their debt on all of their suppiers.

      Cons

      Most of the leadership that Jim Gallogly has put in place after he took over during the bankruptcy has no idea how to deal with people. They are bad about micromanaging their employees daily activities but do not provide organizational direction. They are continuously reorganizing and hiring cronies to replace existing employees rather than providing true leadership to the existing employees. The leadership is very secretive and cliquish. In the past 18 months they have driven away much of the technical staff and most of their good leadership. They continue to cut employee pay and benefits while rewarding the officers with outrageous bonuses and are proud of that fact. Their experienced technical staff has been driven away in droves and they are having a difficult time attracting new talent.
