Pros

The synergy among my former co-workers is what I miss.

Cons

The owner is condescending micromanager who has no clear vision for the company. He's constantly changing his mind about what needs to be done, and he makes it impossible for anyone to do their job effectively. The product team is also completely incompetent. They have no understanding of the music industry, and they're constantly coming up with new features that are completely useless or unworkable. The sales team is also terrible. They're constantly overpromising and underdelivering, and they're always putting pressure on the engineering team to build features that will never be used. As a result of all of this, the engineering is constantly working on half-baked ideas that are never actually finished. There's a lot of burnout and turnover of the team, and morale is at an all-time low.
