Pros
The technical challenges were fun to work on, and the people fun to work with. I still miss many aspects of the job and the company.
Cons
Early senior management was fantastic to work under. But dysfunction at the Board of Directors level corroded the company into impossible stress, flip-flopping priorities, and then bankruptcy. Ask a search engine about Basho at the Chancery Court of Delaware for eye-opening and eye-watering legal writing.
