Pros

1 Lots of freedom to practice your work 2 Great minds to work with 3 Free food,gym,pick up drop et all!

Cons

India Sales leadership (talent solutions) does not have a vision or at least is not getting percolated . Too many leaders churned in last few months & senior resources also are not cared for. This is the thing with new age companies Talent is not cared for as they will always have pipeline of talent ready to take over!
