Pros

I am yet to discover anything

Cons

The most unfair company to work with, management is highly biased, company follows unethical ways to hire and fire. I have seen many incompetent people getting promoted and hardworking employees are tortured. HR is highly ineffective and they don't take any action even if you complain
