I'll chime in! I took a brief look at it yesterday, and my thought was, just like the old site, it doesn't make it easy to find individual departments. For instance, I had a devil of a time finding the Controller's site to get Travel Authorization documents this week. I need these once in a blue moon, but it would be nice to have an easy way to at least drill down to get to where I needed to be. It seems like the site is more oriented toward outsiders and academic interests right now.
