Pros

Salary is good. Work is also technical and good.

Cons

They mostly hire contractors in Europe, so the India location is not good to join.

They usually hire employees by giving them some extra salary and fire them in 6 months or 1 year.

The way they do layoffs is rude. Without prior notice, HR will join your 1:1 with your manager and announce the termination. In a few minutes, they remove your access.

Advice to Management

Focus on India location. Either close the office from India or at least hire for a long-term plan.
