Pros

The document database technology is genuinely good. Management seems to have a decent long-term vision overall. The hiring process is long and painstaking enough to the point that I trust that the people around me are well-qualified. Once hired, there's a lengthy training process to get you up to speed on the company's offerings. After that, there is plenty of continuing training to keep your skills fresh.

Cons

Marketing and market messaging can be a bit "all over the place." There are a lot of products, those products are constantly changing and improving, and so messaging also changes a lot. The sales process can be prescriptive and paperwork-heavy.

Advice to Management

Don't let training or professional services offerings be optional. Give new customers 4 to 8 hours of "free" training/consulting and just bake the cost into the product price. Gear that initial training/consulting towards turning developers & architects into champions so that they fall in love with the product.
