Pros

A lot of smart people Travel opportunity A lot of office events

Cons

What you're get highly dependent on what project you're staffed on A lot of uninteresting work (legacy applications/rescue project) Project staffing/ travel decision are highly political and not transparent Pairing on everything including trivial stuff Below market salary Management first priority is making money Social justice side are a big PR for mostly beached consultant No over time pay
