Pros

It was a great place to work but due to large layoffs and talent attrition - culture has taken big hit.

Cons

Work life balance is abysmal. They must offer large signing bonuses to acquire new talent. Management pushes team hard beyond regular expectations. Always giving 200% without any down time. Expect to work late hours and weekends to hit commitments.
