Pros

good work life balance, 28 days of vacation, 5+ months of maternity leave

Cons

professional growth uncertain, you have to be really politically aware of things that are happening inside the organization, the management shift always brings a "new wave" weather it is a relocation to a new country or doing the job you've never done before but from the now on - you have to be a new pro in the field
