Pros

Things were going hugely well when the economy was good and before chat GPT. Literally the perfect company: culture was great, leadership was supportive and pressure wasn't instance. 2023 was a bloodbath and nearly everyone was let go. In the space of a year all the optimism had vanished and it was a sinking ship for new joiners.

Cons

Is nice to have a product which is hard to build a business case when companies are tightening their belts. I doubt SO will exist in a few years.
