Pros

There are no pros other than you have a job.

Cons

-Employees working for 10+ years have their favorites and don't like if anyone smarter than them join their team. Since they have experience they manipulate the management and send bad feedback. -The higher management is so narrow minded. -You have to commute daily to work and appear in all calls on video and keep giving proof that you are working. Basically if you are good at show off than actual hard work, this place is for you. You cannot compain to the HR either as they don't act. Haha.
