Pros

Got along very well with my manager and many of my coworkers, decent work-life balance, engaging work. Phenomenal HR, best HR department I have ever worked with.

Cons

Very little true transparency with employees, lots of "status update" meetings leading up to the bankruptcy that did not communicate any meaningful information. When they shut down operations they did not pay anyone their last 2 months of salary (in some cases more) or severance pay. Lots of internal politics and maneuvering, but I was hired less than a year before the company closed so it's hard to say whether that was a result of the company's downward spiral or the cause of it.

Pros

If you want to learn something it was a great place to work with good people to learn from. Santanu was good, possibly too good to be a CEO

Cons

Marketing vp there was really bad. He probably can be picked out as the most influential person in the demise of the company.
