Pros
Really nice product set. Very credible pivot from WANop to SD-WAN and quite possibly some differentiating competitive advantages, although the space is crowding up.
Cons
Humorless culture of fear, particularly in marketing. Bizarre, "good old boy" management steeped in hierarchy -- an oscillation of mushroom and then micro-management, then back to mushroom. Kiss up and kick down. Way too many layers and closed doors for such a small group. Amazing bureaucracy. Execs cause a constipated workflow ("everything goes through me but I'll never really think about it") and then blame individual contributors.
