Pros

Lots of lovely, talented people who have been duped into working there.

Cons

Brilliant basics is built on a foundation of dishonesty, fear and inexperience. People are brought in on promises of bonuses, progression and opportunity - I can assure you that none of these materialise. What does materialise is a complete lack of vision and strategy, chaotic conditions and unrealistic expectations, soon followed by shouting, bullying and then lying to make you stay. Owned by a large company, they have some big clients, but the work is unrewarding and the parent company is making a terrible culture even worse. I expect they will soon take over. The CEO is an egomaniac, chauvinist and bully. On his own he is bad enough but this is made significantly worse by his second-in-command who is a sneaky, manipulative liar. He pits people against eachother and makes false promises to appear the good guy. He is a sinister puppeteer and it is beyond me how he gets away with it.
