Pros

OKR roadmap: I like how clearly this lays out the connections between the different levels of OKRs (team, company, long term etc)
OKR Webinar: they have a great OKR 101 type webinar that we made all our leaders go through, even those who had worked with OKRs before, to ensure that we were all on the same page. Perdoo is very intentional and thoughtful about the terms they use.
Initiatives: I really like that Perdoo goes down to the initial level, not just OKR. Initiatives are the projects/tasks that roll up under each KR to actually get to the result.
slack updates: I like seeing the notifications come through when colleagues update something in Perdoo. fun to see progress!

Cons

The check-in process (updating your OKRs weekly) is clunky. It's difficult to read longer OKRs and you have to click into them if you don't remember the entire thing. Sometimes my KRs seem to appear below Objectives they aren't actually tied to.
the slack integration wasn't working for a while. I think it's been fixed but the check-in process is even harder over slack.

Most Important Features

the roadmap is key so that everyone can see clearly where we are trying to go
the transparency across the board for team members
ability to track KPIs that connect with OKRs

Return on Investment

still relatively new so hard to measure actual ROI, but I'd say greater alignment in terms of what is most important and needs to get done
forces us to quantify and set clear targets so that if we miss we can evaluate and potentially take a new approach
