Pros

Not Applicable, None, Nada, nothing.

Cons

If any of the lead, boss or manager writes his biopic and just pens down his day to day routine, would be good material for this section. If there is a list of top 100 worst companies to work for, them this one will top the list. I still remember the day when I said those stupid words, 'YES'. Why the hell did I say that. All the 5 star reviews are so so obviously bogus, a novice can tell they have been written just to lift the company rating on this web site. Day 1: You will be asked to report at 11:00 am. Imagine 11:00 is the staring time. LOL. You will be given an introduction / Induction about the company by HR, sitting in their cabin by running through a 10 slide ppt and thats it. After 15 minutes, you are ready to start work and by EOD, there should be some of your code in github. Day 2: So its your responsibility to get every thing on your laptop. Yes laptop, this company has no PCs. Day 3: Why the hell did you left office at 8 pm last day? So early. Day 4: You feel, why the hell did i say YES. NO No No, can somebody please give me back my life.

Pros

Can do attitude. This is a great company if it did not have the items in CONS. You have the ability to learn and move with the flow. There are tons of opportunities to learn and really make a difference.

Cons

To focused on sales. If you hate selling anything, this is not the place for you. All Management cares about is hitting the goals. Which is not a bad thing, but you have to have a solid product. Most clients are fooled by the Salesman (No brainer here) and Client Services will take the heat. This isnt a problem because you just bring the Sales guy back in the picture. Management is ambitious. But over the top ambitious. They'll shoot themselves in the foot if they have not done so already. - Work/live balance tips on the Work side heavily - Compensation is okay. Build experience and jump to a competitor. - Career Opportunities are available if you can sell. Test yourself, find a product you know is dysfunctional, and see how many people you can sell it to. The first 3 don't count. - CEO is on cloud 9. - Country Vice Presidents: Suck.
