Pros

Filled with many smart, hard-working and friendly employees who truly want the company to thrive. Challenging times bring interesting work. Some of (the old) managment still in place know how to run the ship and keep their eye on what's important and willing to stand up for what's right.

Cons

Continuous senior management shifts and business focus on what "the boss" wants to do rather than what's right for the long-term growth opportunities of the company. It's a who-you-know rather than what-you-know environment at the moment. Culture has shifted and employees need to shift with the new Chaos environment or leave.
