Pros

Interesting backend technology, especially in Labs and the SaaS service. The recent conversion to Forcepoint should provide plenty of advancement opportunities.

Cons

Somewhat sleepy -- while the company moved to agile development, it's still not quite there and takes a very long time to bring things to market.
