Pros

Strong culture of integrity. Absolutely spectacular colleagues. Super interesting work.

Cons

Upper management had become obsessed with performance against metrics that were poorly fit to the business, and were focused entirely on how they might meet those metrics this week, without looking ahead to how to make structural improvements over the longer term.
