Pros

Flexible work-life balance and great people on your own level to interact with.

Generally speaking, you can work on what you feel is best to work on.

Cons

Terrible company culture. Re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic -- they are getting their lunch eaten by startups and refuse to actually innovate. They'd rather market features that don't or can't exist than invest in actual engineering.

Advice to Management

Listen to your engineers. Think 40 should be more like Think 400, with more free-form ideas on what engineers can do. Stay current with technology. Stop using things just because "that's what we've always used."
