Pros

Sharp overall strategic vision and execution, their marketing machine is well optimized, but little opportunity for individual contributors to grow and develop a career path. I'm confident in the company's exit prospects.

Cons

A lot of fumbling by inexperienced VP's; some failed experimental business development strategies and shoestring budgets for office space, salaries, top talent. With stiff competition and various other market factors in play, the technology will likely become obsolete fairly quickly, so the company's window for rapid customer acquisition is probably closing already.
