Pros

Work from home with occasional office presence.

Cons

The product used to be best in class but there is a growing sense among long term customers that the product no longer justifies its cost, with many exploring lower cost, more modern alternatives. The response from leadership has been to double down on higher sales targets and increased course pricing, which many may see as out of step with current customer sentiment and market realities.
