Pros

Loved the people I worked with on my team and cross functionally. For a while we all felt like "owners" and worked hard to build amazing processes.

Cons

The company is moving to a profitability model which forces layoffs and loss of culture. I am hoping the company will be able to overcome their very clear hurdles and make it long term. Those that were left behind are now being asked to do more than their fair share. They are pushing people to work on weekends and prove their worth. The mentality from upper management is "what are we paying you for".
