Pros

Generally speaking the company is a nice place to work at. Of course, all the pros and cons depend on the team one gets into and the team's manager. Some do their best and celebrate success with their employees. Others just do not bother with this and just do not care about anything. The latter might be quite disappointing. One of the pros is a possible opportunity to change careers without losing in one's wage.

Cons

The company seems to be always in change. And the change is not always for better.
