Poor leadership

Pros

Interesting and challenging work - there are still interesting problems to solve at the company, and given how many people have quit there's lots of work to be done.

Cons

Poor leadership in the company, causing a rotten atmosphere among peers. There is a huge difference between the time I joined the company to when I left. Executive leadership started focusing on stock price and dividents, started pushing engineers towards sales, people got fired (admittedly not so good ones, the good ones started leaving).
