Pros

So far I am yet to find a pro

Cons

The most process rigid company I have ever seen. The core hours are between 8:30 and 5 and absolutely no work life balance. Processes are introduced to make it easier for employees but a company mired in processes without knowing the meaning only means people are undervalued.
