Pros

A good mixture of talent and tenure. The technology concepts are good and the cash cow IBM keeps the doors open. Employs many former military.

Cons

12yrs in business and it still runs like a Mom and Pop shop. Development team doesn't follow any SDLC or methodologies to release product. Dev team doesn't baseline or freeze code to stabilize and build and burn down defects to mature product. They are on VC funding and don't have any paying customers other than IBM. They lack release management and have pilots that don't turn into revenue.

Pros

Smart people, lots of new people and ideas, and the product is coming together in a very healthy market for security software. The IBM relationship is a very positive sign - IBM will only get this involved if the product is mature and market ready, and IBM can sell it to meet a need. The future roadmap looks interesting too!

Cons

Company has had some ups and downs but seems like that is in the past now.
