Pros

One can work on a diverse range of things. Lots to do and learn in the process. Ability to have direct impact on the product or the company

Cons

Many (or some would say most) of the talented people have left in the past few months with the highest attrition rate one might see anywhere. Think of a high number and double it! Much was preventable with stronger leadership, however the CEO placed trust in a few incompetent people who made some really bad directional decisions. The company has been struggling to hire and now doing all they can to try change the image: 1) by having current employees post 5-star glassdoor reviews (=artificial) 2) desperately trying to get onto "top companies to work for lists", which are really meaningless. Take a look at the Glassdoor trend line; the drop earlier in 2019. That was real. Any come back might be false. Beware!
