Pros

Great product. Great employee benefits. Fun corporate culture. Genuine interest in employees' well being. Great work environment (physical office space). Competitive pay. Advancement opportunities. Diversity and inclusion.

Cons

Huge turnover in senior management over the past 3 years. Mass exodus of tenured leaders with 15-20+ years in the last 12-18 months. Arbitrary placement of people who were above quota on PIPs to make room for new management's selected hires. (I was not affected by this, but I saw others affected by this.) Company direction vacillates and is very reactive rather than strategic. Not a sales-oriented organization, and it shows. I believe if they could figure out a way to get rid of their sales team altogether, they would.
