Pros

- Salary is not bad - Stock option plan is good (though it's tanking) - Pressure is relatively low, in the end no one really cares about sprints or their feasibility. Most successful people are those that pretend to work hard

Cons

- Company has no vision to reach their goals, it changes based on panic by management - Culture is very toxic . This company, unfortunately, seems to be stuck in a cycle of poor management. If you value stability, clear direction, and a healthy work culture, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere.
