Pros

Some of your colleagues actually try to do a good job.

Cons

Over a decade of terrible leadership has really come home to roost. The company is way below IPO price due to a steady stream of the worst executive hires I've ever seen. Is the new CEO and head of product any good? Who knows, but even if they are total geniuses they won't be digging out of the massive hole they're in. Talented colleagues who weren't lucky enough to bail during a better job market are quitting anyway to take pay cuts, because who would you want to spend their time working for these people.
