Pros

Overall the product itself is excellent if you are simply looking to build an MS-Excel spreadsheet in the cloud while collaborating with other users. It has a multi-dimensional component to it as well that replaces the difficulty of pivot tables.

Cons

The Apps on their App Exchange have no real best practices or capabilities built into them. Your kind of back to the basics of building a real solution from the ground up ever time. The reporting is terrible with a significant lack of visualizations. There is also a lack of audit tracking - once you change something you loose it. No effective dating.

Pros

Started off great, lots to learn, people around you were always willing to help and share knowledge

Cons

Thoma bravo(private equity) buys the company, management becomes one of the worst I have seen. Zero honesty and accountability, straight up lied to employees. Lays off people with horrible severance, Offshoring business so stay away from it unless you want to play the game of "will I survive this layoff or not".
