Pros
I honestly can't think of any pros.
Cons
There is absolutely no structure at all. The company kept hiring for the first six months of the year for no reason, only to lay off 12-15 of the 70 employees all at once. The founder is stuck in a 1980s mindset and has a bias towards employees from well-reputed Indian colleges like IITs and NITs, he seems to think that if you're from one of these schools, you’re automatically a “gem” regardless of whether you contribute or not. It doesn’t matter how hard you work, if you don't have that college tag or aren’t part of "the family," your efforts won’t be recognized. I was surprised to see how many others shared the same feelings about the company culture and the favoritism towards "the family." When well-known companies like Google and Amazon are hiring people based on talent alone, without requiring a degree, this founder is still stuck on college fame. So, if you're not from IIT or NIT or aren’t part of the founder's inner circle, expect no growth or acknowledgment, no matter how much you contribute.
