Pros
New leader seems to be much better than previous leaders who were driving the company in the ground. Can now wear jeans to work and holiday shutdown is nice.
Cons
My clients are very upset as a lot of research and IT talent were forced to leave our company. My main client said she may not renew our contract because she feels we no longer provide her research and automotive expertise :-/ I appreciate her warning me but this makes me very sad. Culture is very broken and no one trusts anyone. Many of us want to believe the new message but it is difficult when it is partially delivered by the past leader's young buck who no one trusts. We are also very short staffed and have to put in a lot of hours. Offshore IT is causing a ton of problems and further upsetting my clients.
