Pros

If you are fond of some brand name, a WFH option is possible in some teams.

Cons

Low base salary. Also, at the end of the year, you get 50% of your variable, even if you perform better than expected. Cost-cutting (even internet bills won't be reimbursed for teams working from home). Layoffs happen during peak times. Leadership is clueless with respect to vision. The vision or plan changes very frequently.
