Pros

It seemed the company was on an upswing

Cons

Morale is in the dumps. Layoffs have severed trust in the company. CEO has turned over his entire staff, meanwhile the issue is with a failure of vision, attention to project management execution, and meddling in the roadmap that produced no benefits
