Business Outlook

Pros

Important product and mission. Generally nice people across the spectrum.

Cons

Certain new upper management hires have dramatically changed the culture. It used to be a place you enjoyed coming to work, where your coworkers became your friends. Now you have to be careful not to be seen having too much fun, or you'll be shown the door. Great people have left, involuntarily and otherwise.
