Pros

You gain an incredibly vast and deep understanding of whatever industry you're working with, and this changes every project. The timeline for each case is extremely short, meaning you're constantly being pushed to deliver impactful results.

Cons

You'll find that a lot of the time you will be working late to finish the work you've been tasked to do, and clients may be unreasonable regarding working hours/schedules. However, there is a solid support scheme for employees, meaning the necessary assistance will be provided when the work environment reaches a stressful level.
