Pros

- While the product is nowhere near a good as they say it is, it is kinda cool. Its fun to use (when it does what its supposed to). - They let you use a Macbook Pro and a Thunderbolt display - You can use some good technologies

Cons

- All of the founders have left to do other things. - Company cannot keep employees. Quite a few engineers, sales people, QA, designers, etc. have left. - Management can't be trusted. They say whatever helps them get what they want, whether or not its true. They may tell you something one day, the next, they will tell you they never said it. - Management lacks the ability to bring this company to where it should be. There are a lot of examples of management making bad choices that negatively effects the company, its employees, and their ability to attract good talent. - Engineering management is not very good. They recognize the problems (and there are a lot of them), but are completely unsure how to solve them. They use scrum, but do not really understand it very well so it is ineffective. - Too many meetings! Those who know what they are doing do not spend their time in meetings. a one hour meeting easily turns into 3 hours, and still nothing is accomplished. - High regression rate. Bugs are closed and are reopened quite regularly - While good technologies are used, they are often used incorrectly.
