Pros

No pros as such here

Cons

Compensation below industry standards - low base pay with limited upside even if you do well. The quality of work is poor because the company is disorganized and there are very few good people. If you work here for long you become unhireable so you can't leave. But if you try to leave, the management tries to screw your career in every possible way by treating you akin to bonded labor. So best to not join unless you really want to put your career in threat.
