Pros

If you are good at talking and can sell yourself well during the hiring process, you can land a good position and earn a decent salary just by talking rather than doing real work. Furthermore, you WFH 3days a week, no one knows you are really working or not.

Cons

Management is disorganized, with too many people talking and too few actually doing the work. If you negotiate too low when you join, it will take a long time to get a promotion or a raise.
