Pros

Very little work assigned, fully remote, decent healthcare and other perks.

Cons

Roadmap is 100% defined by the handful of largest customers. Features and shipped as fast as possible without regard to obvious severe usability problems. Relies on customers paying for enormous service packages to compensate for truly horrific product design.
