Pros

None I can think of.

Cons

No perks at all. Very very frugal till the point of affecting employee productivity. Promotions are not based on how well you perform but based on how other PERCEIVE your leadership abilities. No actual deliverables taken into account.

Pros

Interesting projects; lost of technical challenges;

Cons

Super frugal; can be mean; working space is small; you will need air to breath; PCs, keyboards, monitors, mices are low-quality and cheap things; You have only 1 monitor for working only. Even coffee cups don't have lids or insulators. Managers ask you about your progress on projects all over the time. High bar-raiser, difficult promotions
