Unethical and potentially illegal HR practices
Pros
Can work from home (but its offshore - lots of late night calls) The Data Science team is new and small - could be a place to make a mark
Cons
It is basically a statistical analytics team right now - not a big data team, and probably no scope in the near future. You can expect to split hairs running all your code in R (team preference) on a single node. Be very careful about the terms of offer acceptance with this company. The HR practices are very craftily designed to trap employees into a unilateral job agreement where they reserve the right to fire an employee with 1 month notice (0 if tenure < 6 mo), while the employee is bound to serve a notice of 2 months. This is a policy exceptional to this company so far in my experience and no educated person would want to sign such a document - except one doesn't really have a choice once already resigned from previous work place. Basically, this is a company that wants to squeeze employees, than be friendly to them.
