Pros
The people are great! Many long time employees end up feeling like we've grown up together. Tremendous depth of expertise and ability. Opportunities for growth and expansion come with proving yourself worthy.
Cons
Recent managemnt changes, (losing the top of both the 'mother' company and the architecture company at the same time) has left many concerned about the future, Present leadership is focused on positioniing the company for success into the future, and that has necessitated some radical changes. Yes, 'right-sizing' the company took quite a while, too long for many and in many instances it could have been done with more compassion but I trust there were reasons for the 'slow burn' and that what was done was necessary. We now appear to be 'right sized' going forward and as the global economy recovers we should be positioned to grow again. Will we ever return to what we were? Who knows? Will any of us return to what we were pre 2008? Frankly, anyone who had to follow two leaders that were so loved and admired would have had a difficult time even if they had simply tried to 'maintain'. It's understandable and inevitable that some would be upset.
