Pros

1) your team can be considered under PROS 2)I f you want to study/learn by yourself and also want to be paid an amount (e.g. 15-20k), this company is best suited for you. 3) If you are really good at pretending of doing work, congrats!!By next year you'll be promoted(even as team lead)(Note : if this company exists till next year).

Cons

My, my... It's impossible to list all the concerns—the list is just too long! But I'll do my best to keep you informed and safe. 1) Replacing full-time employees with interns has become their new business model for maximizing profits. 2) Layoff is a new norm. 3) The most common reasons for layoffs include: not being glued to your seat even when there's no work, taking lunch and breakfast breaks, taking sick leaves, or simply being "unaffordable" overnight—even if you were their favourite employee just a week ago. 4) Founder A.K.A Founder, top level members has lost visions completely. 5) They are shifting from an online business model to a tuition-center approach, thinking it will be more profitable. 6) Teamwork is dead—employees are forced to sit idle in the office while the CEO and CTO fail to provide any strategic direction. 7) work hours has been increased from 45 to 48 hours weekly. 8) They are asking full time employees to up-skill where as the top level 4-5 employee are not skilled yet, there are so unskilled that if anyone takes fresher level interview with them, they're gonna fail in that too. 9) Layoffs are no longer based on performance or feedback; it’s now a lottery system. 10) At this rate, the company is likely to shut down within the next 3–4 months (as of January). 11) There is no work structure in place—anyone can do anything, with no proper SDLC or Agile methodology being followed. This lack of structure damages employees’ interview skills, as they are unable to articulate a proper approach when asked. After all, which company would hire an employee who comes from a completely unstructured work environment?
