Pros

The company product and mission is solid (with the exception of the JBoss side of the company).

Cons

The products from the JBoss group are terrible as are the people who work there. I witnessed people screaming obscenities at each other in meetings, flaming each other over email in front of management and peers, and just general playground bully behavior that would result in termination at any other company. Oddly, the CEO recently discussed this culture in an article as if it were a positive. I can assure you that being insulted and degraded on a daily basis isn't cute, or clever, or tolerable. I and most of the people I on-boarded with lasted no more than a year.
