Pros

Good enough product but massively behind the curve on AI and too focused trying to make HCM work to actually go after a broader ERP client base or break into new areas.

Cons

Lost focus when Aneel stepped aside - new guy Carl just seems like a VC leader type saying words to justify his pay (not his fault) but let's not pretend anyone cares about what he says.
