Pros

1) Product based environment 2) Nice office interiors 3) Collegues are helpful

Cons

1) Sometimes it seems that vendors are running the company. 2) People with less skillset too get promoted easily and get better hike if they have good terms with their respective manager. 3) Scrum Masters are usually non technical and don't understand the technical aspects of work so most of the time gets wasted in scrum ceremonies.
