Pros

Good people outside of executive leadership.

Cons

CEO brought in seemingly to sabotage company. Pays extremely high stock dividends despite outrageous amounts of outstanding shares. Destroyed employee morale with asinine RTO claiming a five-year sample size of success working remotely is not enough. Multiple rounds of layoffs have taken place and there will most likely be more in '26. Meanwhile, Mr. Tierney commissioned an extremely unnecessary renovation of the WAC building, which included expenditures such as a $300k conference room table. I doubt customers would be happy to learn they'll be paying for all this in the form of rate increases. I mean, these were "capital" expenditures right? I won't mention the decision to purchase the former GO and then sell it for a loss of roughly $40 million dollars. Meanwhile, mid-level leaders in the company who are doing excellent work, consistently delivering services at or under budget, are laid off AFTER being told by an imported VP from the BANKING industry it's our fault and we aren't doing good enough.
