Pros

The first thing anyone notices about BlackDuck is the culture. From top to bottom the focus is working hard while at the same time having a good time.

Cons

Getting acquired by Synopsys. Going from a 400 person company to part of a 14,000 person company has killed all that is good about BlackDuck. My ratings reflect the current environment. BD would have been all 5 stars.
