Pros

I got hired as a full-Time employee, but then they put me on "standby" mode twice in 8 months. I supposed to start in July but they postponed it to September. And now, They are putting me for "standby" again after 6 months of hiring. They told me "no project for you at this time". This is a ridiculously unstable job. I highly recommend people try to avoid this company.

Cons

I can't think of any. Maybe just the flexible working hours? Most of people inside are very nice. Working environment is relatively good.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
