Pros

Many very smart, efficient, talented people -- but many of those have been pushed out or are leaving due to the leadership churn, falling equity component of comp, and frustration with attempted exec coups, conflicting messages, etc. Willingness to expand in global markets ... but was actually too aggressive and now paying for it.

Cons

Many talented people have been pushed out or are leaving due to the leadership churn, falling equity component of comp, and frustration with attempted exec coups, conflicting messages, etc. High cost of capital due to huge mistakes trying for too many acquisitions too fast has brought much of company to standstill. Deals pushed through fast, leaving undiscovered details that can be damaging. One of the most volatile and shorted stocks on the public markets. Many promises broken.
