Exciting pipeline but horrible management

Pros

Competitive salary, compensation, benefits, really exciting pipeline, most of the people I worked with were fantastic.

Cons

Management took advantage of so many people. It made me sick to see good people thrown under the bus or put in unfair positions or underpaid after being promised so much more or not getting credit for doing the work of 3 people. It became blood money to work there. I never regretted leaving for 1 minute.
