Pros

There are no pros in my book. Awful experience. Nothing but “decent salary” compared to the minimum salary of the country.

Cons

Work-life balance completely erased. Very poor management skills. Very poor manager selection. Clear favoritism. Psychological harassment. No growth. Poor study materials. Noncompliance with their “values and culture”.
