Vantaggi
Some smart folks. A few good customers. Great place for engineers 50+ who are on their last rodeo and have no desire to learn new relevant skills.
Svantaggi
As stated in the title Puppet is ancient and completely irrelevant in today's technology world. The only reason they even exist today in any form is a few very large customers haven't had a chance to migrate to better modern platforms. No SaaS... really licensing model is 15 years behind. Can't work with containers. Doesn't play well in the public cloud. No money, no marketing, 0 leads. Poor attitude toward fresh ideas. Most of the management that stayed after the acquisition believes there is no need for change they seem to think everybody should want to live in the past. They can't seem to realize the company was acquired by some no name private equity company for dirt cheap and there was a reason for that acquisition. If you aren't a 50+ year old engineer I would steer clear. For sales, no matter your age, run and run fast.
