Pros

Flexibility with schedule and work:life balance.

Cons

Increasingly shrinking market; open source is not a 'thing' any longer and has been largely adopted by enterprises. No industry or business differentiation value-add on top of product offerings limits value prop for customers. Very limited solution-oriented focus within sales motion. With many public cloud options privately owned and managed infrastructure is increasingly decreasing in need.

Paternity leave is (passively) discouraged

Pros

Good place to work with lots of interesting challenges to drive.

Cons

Engineering management is passive aggressive about associates taking the full 6 week paternity leave benefit. No one says it to your face directly but you get penalized in other ways and hear about it in hallway conversations.
