Pros

Some talented people remain. Interesting business. If you brown-nose regardless of knowledge or skill set, you can survive here.

Cons

Management and their friends lack true leadership, exploit employees, and frequently change business goals. Fear and intimidation-based power games are the norm. Everyone is watching their back. Very large, unproductive crowd-sourcing meetings are common, costly, and time-wasting. It became clear that management was crowd-sourcing information from the lower ranks for among other things, business and tech direction since they lack adequate knowledge as well as analysis and planning skills to run a business. This company has a long way to go to be profitable and ethical in its treatment of employees. Fast-talkers move up here. Skilled, honest, untethered employees move on.
