Cons
Con Doesn't support git modules
If repo contain private submodule - build will fail, no way to add your private key.
Con Any time you ask support for help on Codeship basic (which isn't free anyway), they will just try to up sell you to Pro version.
Con No Global variables that can be shared amongst all projects.
Con Environment variables are exposed. Any keys or secrets can just be copied.
No option to mask them unless you reduce permissions for those users. Developers need to be able to modify a job but probably shouldn't be able to copy a production api key. Just needs one more level of permissions here.
Con Too many permissions on Bitbucket
When registering with Bitbucket Codeship it requests way to many permissions, even "Read and write to your team's projects and move repositories between them". Before giving all these permissions you have to be sure you can trust this service.
