Pros

None - the good times are gone

Cons

Companies age like milk, not wine, and this one has been in the fridge since 2001. They hired a VP-level marketing manager from Salesforce as CEO who has hired an army of his (mostly unqualified) friends from Salesforce, who are overwhelmed and unprepared for the task at hand. They are propping up 25+ year old intellectual property by wrapping it in marketing: truly lipstick on a pig. Customers are fleeing the technology left and right. The key differentiator, visual, drag & drop development, went out of style in the 2010's and the product has a fractured architecture/dual product strategy with no upgrade path. They are trying to position around these limitations by calling it an AI company but there's no material product to back it up. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

Pros

cool technology, awesome CEO, capable engineering and PM VPs

Cons

engineering/pm leadership needs help. the CPTO is not technical at all and has no product vision. However, the VPs of both engineering and PMs are all very technical and capable. They are limited by the CPTO though.
