Pros

- Major change in strategy laid out clearly. - Great pay and stock plan. - Vacation and other benefits are so-so but ok. - Global reach and usually get to work with very smart people.

Cons

- Disastrous execution of reorg. - Good growth (>50%) products getting sidelined due to VP's pet project. - Weak middle management that does not question upper management decisions or edicts. - Very very political. Cannot be honest. - Fringe benefits are gone. No more dogs in most offices. No drinks or snacks. - Travel is a pain.
