Pros: Work can still be very interesting.
With the loss of a ton of very experienced people, there's room to move up.
Cons: Pushing for moving very fast and breaking more things can cause a decrease in code quality.
Lots of very experienced teammates are bailing, and upper management is not backfilling quickly enough.
