Pros

None, this company is owned by a venture capitalist group and would drown you in a river if it made them a dollar.

Cons

This company just laid off a lot of I order to send the jobs overseas. By next year year it will probably be only employees in India and sales people in the US with unrealistic quotas who will fires if they don't meet them.
