Pros

Smart colleagues, getting to work with different technologies, WLB (depending on the project), learning and development used to be good (but eliminated in 2023)

Cons

The prestige and market differentiation are gone. Most projects are now run-of-the-mill staff augmentation. Social justice is a gimmick they use to bring on competent and smart people they'd otherwise never be able to afford. Get this straight: not only will you never do anything related to social justice here, but you'll also be grossly underpaid. Lot of smart senior colleagues but they're also overworked and burned out. If you're a junior, better pray that you're lucky enough to get staffed on a project where seniors have the capacity to mentor you. Pairing is fine in cases but pairing every hour every day is tiring and becomes another reason for burning out by the time you reach senior level. If you want exposure to different tech stacks, go work at a startup where you'll wear many hats. If you want mentorship, find a product-driven company where seniors and managers aren't burned out.
