Pros

Everything depends on which account you land up in. If you are in a good account, you learn a lot, you can get early client exposure. People are ready to help.

Cons

Learning comes at a great cost to work-life balance. There are cases where the work is a lot and the pressure and demands put on employees is unrealistic. People work till 4 am in the office and sometimes never go home and that too for a very meager salary. Also, in most cases, the work isn't a lot but it's the culture of staying late in office is prevalent. People look appreciate people who stay back in office till late even though they have mainly wasted all their time throughout the day. But others who efficiently finish their work, are just burdened with more work and are seen as people not eager to dedicate themselves. This culture is mainly due to the fact that most of the population is just out of college and have relocated from their cities so don't particularly have a life outside of office.

Pros

Steep learning curve as they say. You can work on never ending exciting cutting edge technology, analytics projects

Cons

They push you into deep waters and let you figure out how to swim or drown The analytics and strategy they have used even to hire right of college students who have student loans and who are hungry to prove themselves says a lot. Very unstructured, very unprofessional management right from the CEO himself. Forget about work life balance! Your life expectancy will come down by 1 year if you work here for a month. Not for people with a family. Not biweekly or bimonthly salary but monthly salary (US). No 401k match Costly healthcare

Pros

You get to go to India

Cons

Long hours, unethical work environment, abusive management, negative employees, constant churn, having to constantly sell products to clients. This isn't a data science role, it's an on site business development one. You're not going to be able to transfer these skills to "big data", BI, or data analytics roles outside unless you're planning on going into sales. There's a reason they're constantly hiring--people are constantly leaving for one reason or another; mostly poor considering and I think the 5% recommendation rating on here is accurate.
