Despite a lot of product stupidity, development proceeds at a pretty good pace.
It's still a technology-driven org, despite attempts by Marketing and Biz Dev to take over responsibility.
Weekend and after-hours work is the norm. The product is still way too buggy, and no one really takes accountability for fixing it. A stupid focus on "time to market" and bogus "competitors" leads to some silly decisions about what developers should work on.
You can't do everything, so quit trying.
Rein in customer service excesses; they have more people than they need and are prone to whining.
