Pros

- Fairly low-stress environment - Good pay - Flexible hours & working conditions

Cons

- New C-level shakeups causing uncertainty & lack of direction - Incredible amounts of technical debt, platform is too old to succeed at scale - Politics seem to decide what gets done rather than what's best for the customer

Pros

Very useful product, customers legitimately get a lot of value even with high prices. Fair amount of different technology problems to interact with. Individual contributors are often helpful. Overall this is about as good as you can imagine a mid-size enterprise software shop could be. There's a dream that it's still a fun company, but it's just a company, which isn't a bad thing.

Cons

No longer able to hear the needs of customers, who want usability and reliability. Dysfunctional waterfall process produces poorly integrated features instead. Industry best practices on scope management and quality are given lip service, but not actually followed. Technical debt is fairly high. New projects often struggle with politics and process.
