Pros

Lots of good co workers. Lots of things to work on. Pay was not bad. I looked forward to going to work.

Cons

Company grew too fast. Complete change in culture. Went from upper management holding on to fiefdom power so long that many things stalled to management growing like a cancer. New people arrived in such volume that the existing culture was destroyed. At this time there are many long term employee's (10 years+) leaving.
