Pros
1. Good compensation and training for graduate from average college. 2. Better service based company than Infosys and TCS. 3. Great minds from reputed government and private colleges. 4. People learn for few years and then join good brands (Microsoft, Amazon, flipkart, Expedia, Snapdeal, Pramati etc.). 5. Work directly for Microsoft and latest technologies. 6. Focus on improving communication skills, writing good code, code review, team building etc.
Cons
1. No in-depth knowledge since it's a service based company. 2. Average experience is less than a year. 3. No opportunity to work on open source projects. 4. No senior technical positions like Architect etc. that reduces overall technical expertise of team. 5. Work life balance, No respect for employee and High expectations from Manager 6. People will start looking for job change after 6 months of joining. 7. To describe CEO's attitude, a book can be written and to describe cons of company a series of novels.

Pros
Good colleagues and decent middle management Opportunity to expand responsibilities quickly Strong training system for technical skills, access to Microsoft related knowledge Flat org structure Good 401k
Cons
Extremely rude, unprofessional CEO prone to micromanagement. Creates arbitrary and hostile work environment. Results in half his company being staffed with competent but beaten down H1Bs (they can't leave). Vicious cycle. His wife: far more effective and probably main reason the company functions effectively to any extent. Time zone differences create chaos in personal schedules. Monthly payroll can cause issues early on, no big deal. Long hours accompanied by low morale. High turnover damages project continuity. Lower pay than competition. Poor office facilities in Redmond (although with free parking and good proximity to Microsoft) Health benefits are so-so (very high deductible on medical, but good dental/vision).
