Pros

Free food, cab, work life balance

Cons

Not recommended at any career level, there are few managers who have been hired from other organisations which are very toxic. They have no managerial skills and have pathetic way of working. They themselves have no clue about future roadmap and try to rush things as they need to show that off to upper management. Its a career killer company and I don't recommend to join that at any point of time, if you have no offer and this is the last option then only join for short tenure.
