The Lost Decade Just Looks to Continue
Pros: Incredibly smart people working here.  Amazing innovation at ground floor and at local levels.  Good people wanting to do the right thing.  I believe Steve B. is on his way out, this will be a huge PRO for the company.
Cons: Layer upon layer of insidious bureaucracy, fifedoms, and in-fighting kills opportunity.  The only thing the company does consistently is miss it's window of opportunity. The current review model is meant to remove the bottom 10% every year, do the math on that, after year one, the middle becomes the bottom and thus.
