      Pros

      There are a lot of well-intentioned, dedicated people here who really believe in the open access mission.

      Cons

      Projects are mismanaged with deadlines constantly changing. Innovation is always being talked about with no real results. The separation of editorial on the second floor and everyone else (Finance, Product, IT, Devs etc) on the first floor creates a toxic environment of jealousy and misunderstanding.
