Pros

A few good people that actually "get" the company still work there. But that number continues to decrease as people continue to quit, or get "managed out".

Cons

Completely lost it's great company culture. Alienated most of its core customer base - true fans that made the company what it once was - unique and a fun site to visit every day. Alienated many vendors by becoming too demanding and painful to do business with. Lost it's focus in selling a limited selection of really great deals to selling a huge assortment of mediocre deals. Same as anywhere else, unfortunately. Summary: replaced it's good employees with a bunch of inept and clueless folks that don't understand the business, made it difficult to have meaningful and mutually beneficial vendor relationships, swapped its core fanatical customer base for who knows what (anyone into traffic data)?
