Pros

start up, many opportunities present

Cons

very cheap unfortunately and not only regarding salaries but all employee related aspects(next to no benefits, do not pay overtime even if it is "mandatory"). on the other hand they throw money away to 3rd party project management companies. very keen on having a good image while their employees are 90% unsatisfied and looking for jobs.
