Decent compensation, before you realize a 10-hour workday is the expectation. Good health coverage. Some good people. Looks good on a resume.

A flat, sad, and stagnant environment, packed with has-beens enduring a soul-crashing grind. The codebase is messy, kludgy, missing comments, tests, formatting, and a basic understanding of good design.
