Hello Scott,
I've been in a similar situation. What I did was submit a
written request to my boss for a review.
My advice is to approach your current manager and outline the
situation for him. It might well be that with all the management
changes, your review was simply overlooked. I wouldn't take another
position until you find out what's going on. You might be shooting
yourself in the foot.

Just my $.02 FWIW.

Toni
