Pros

The people outside of management are great. You won't find kinder, more empathetic coworkers or a better engineering culture.

Cons

The company is stuck in a doom loop. There's not enough money, so they cut costs. That makes the product worse. That causes customers to leave. That reduces revenue, which means there's even less money. Repeat forever.
