Pros

We used to have very competitive and smart people.

Cons

Unfortunately, almost all the smart folks have left for better opportunities. This place now is run by managers who don't understand technology; worse, they don't care about technology. More than half the effort is now expended to keep things running (vs. building new things). If you are planning to be a manager, do it by all means. If you plan to be a developer, you've been warned.
