Pros

The company has a stable, focused product, and great people and management. The engineers are knowledgeable and friendly, and management seems competent and has a surprisingly good understanding of the technical internals.

Engineers are given the autonomy to work on projects without much red tape. Project deadlines and staffing are reasonable, support isn't difficult, and developer tooling is pretty good.

Cons

Company stock price fluctuates up and down without clear long-term growth. There's not as much system design work to do, and opportunities for growth are limited in that way.

Advice to Management

Strike the right balance between improving existing products and taking risks with new ones.
