Pros: Free snacks and drinks. T-shirts.

Cons: Poor leadership and killing youth workers. This place is highly political. You are being watched all the time. You are expected to fetch 140% of productivity (open statement by management and leaders). Not an ideal workplace for life/work balance. CEO left, CTO left, and CFO left. All gone in one single year (2019). What do you think of this situation? All got 20-30 million in pocket. New fresh blood is brought to kill people. Good job.
