Pros

Nothing I can think of

Cons

The worst company I have worked for so far. There is lot of bureaucracy and people are very political. Apart from few engineers the place is full of mediocre people who play dirty tricks and politics all the time. If you are technically sound and an honest person then do not join this company.
