Pros

Work culture on my team is really good, but I hear that it's not the norm.

Problems are interesting and the work can be challenging.

There is a lot of opportunity to be self directed in your career and what you do as a manager.

Cons

Lots of leadership changes in the last year give a sense of uncertainty. New product ideas get started and abandoned fairly quickly, leading to burnout and a general lack of excitement. The loss of long-term incentives for long-term employees after the PE buyout hurts a lot.

Advice to Management

Pick a lane and focus product development there. Use staff that you've hired intentionally to solve those product needs. It'll help cut down churn.
