Pros

The people who've stuck around are still very smart, kind, and driven individuals.

Cons

Private Equity is hollowing the company out. The new initiatives announced every six months by ever-fresh faces in leadership are starting to feel like efforts to keep Titanic passengers from jumping overboard as the ship starts listing. Benefits are slowly being chipped away, cost-saving measures are being implemented in such a short-sighted and greedy way that they immediately backfire, and a lack of long-term vision is severely harming morale and suffocating any desire for excellence,
