Pros

Good if you want an H1-B visa. They seem to prefer foreign employees who have lower salary requirements.

Cons

Horrible culture, too many employees who cannot speak English (majority are foreign employees), long work hours. No work/life balance, lack of direction, horrible management. Top management does not encourage their employees to grow. If you do something positive, they only tell you how you didn't do good enough.
