Pros

There were some good people at the company and they were fairly open in sharing their knowledge and expertise. The company was still #1 in the market, which was something we could be proud of, but it was also something we knew the company couldn't maintain, so it was tough watching it slip away.

Cons

Terrible management, which causes problems in all aspects of the company. Morale was so low that it was depressing to even think about going to the office each day. The culture, i.e., they environment created by top management, was one of paranoia and constant change, so no matter how good one was at a job, there was no feeling of security.
