Pros

A few good folk left but that's a positive as I can be.

Cons

Pay is pathetic but expectations are high. Years of bad managers and poor management decisions has lead to many talented people walk out the door. The culture has changed dramatically over the last few years and staff are unhappy. The new management team are not providing the strategy to get the company on the right path. Products no longer meeting customer need or demand. Outlook - gloomy!
