-many of the smart, fun and passionate co-workers have left
-if you're not in your 20's and this isn't your 1st/2nd job, the amenities don't outweigh the hours or commute
-long hours if you don't set limits for yourself; if you do only work 40-50 hours you feel overwhelmed with not being able to get everything done in time

The idea and drive behind the company is really positive and enticing, but the executive changes made in the past year have taken their toll on the culture and environment.
