Pros

Very smart, creative people who, despite distracted upper management, are able to contribute and succeed.

Cons

Gone from a company which once considered its people as its most valuable asset to a company which now feels if it could just fire enough of them, it could make a profit—or at least satisfy the WS crowd.

Advice to Management

Go back to your core values - you know, the ones you make everyone read and sign each year.
