Pros

Usually can get high profile good projects. Company has good reputation. The design is generally quite nice. Have lots of talented people. Allows flexible working time and one day working from home.

Cons

Pigeon-holed into project delivery. Contribution and experience are not necessarily recognised. Experienced people may get put on easy role and juniors can be put on important lead role. In general male gets better pay, and design architect has better exposure and better chance to be promoted. No transparency in management. No clear path to move up and a little top heavy.
