Pros

Good culture, good learning environment, great collaboration with members of the departments. At least you will have real responsibilities as a trainee. Mostly you will do tasks they don't have time for, or someone did it before their position got cut. Good work life balance.

Cons

Once you join as a trainee they will never offer you a full time role. No matter how hard you work. They might keep you as a contractor through third party, but then you don't get any of the benefits.
