Pros

The IT department is going through much needed transformation. Since the new CIO started six months ago, we now have a vision and direction which we've never had before. There is a renewed sense of focus, people are more energized. There have been number of employees joining IT from other parts of the company because of the changes and excitement in IT. We are getting more things done and the rest of the company sees it.

Cons

There should be more focus on individual performance and rewards based on individual contribution.
