Pros

Core Nutanix HCI really is the best product/technology on the market for hyper-converged infrastructure, however, VMWare is quickly catching up and leveraging it's strong market position to box Nutanix out of deals. Health Care coverage is great.

Cons

Sales quotas are unobtainable at the ground level - a very low percentage of sales teams make quota quarter over quarter. Sales management continually uses fear and intimidation tactics and are more concerned with constant salesforce updates and daily forecast calls than enabling sales teams to sell. Unlimted PTO is specious - you end up taking less vacation while Nutanix gets the advantage of keeping a liability off the books.
