Pros

Great people, both based in offices and remote (work from home). Lots of opportunity to carve your own path in the company and make product suggestions and enhancements. Great technology and ideas on howto adapt it. Company meetings and developer meetings yearly face-to-face. Good office locations.

Cons

Not well organised and constantly changing. Lots of middle management with little added value. Teams are pushing Ubuntu to many different areas which ends up with little focus on each area. Company has grown rather large without necessarily making any more money.
