Pros

Salary is good and work-life balance isn't too bad for (consulting). Don't have to travel much to client site either as most clients prefer remote working due to being in Europe / US.

Cons

Two promotion cycles per year but many people are currently drastically overdue promotion due to org. structure imbalances. Favouritism commonly believed to exist, with certain individuals always getting the best projects, promotions etc.

Pros

There were no pros that I know of.

Cons

The company would set the maximum hours allowed on a specific publication project, and that cap was always insufficient, so the freelancer would be expected to work for free, despite scope creep. Also, timelines were unreasonably short. Poor communication with management meant things took longer than they should have. I left after one project.
