Pros

Great place to start a career, you can learn quickly . I think for beginners who want to learn very quickly and are ready to do long working day, go ahead. There are many projects for fortune 500 companies and contrary to what others might say i found it very easy to go from projects to projects (it highly depends on how much you cost to the project). You can have easy access to knowledge and meet some experts. Negotiate well your salary because it's unlikely to be increased.

Cons

Pressure, hard to have a well balanced private life, high turnover. Managers have a very short term view put employees under high pressure to deliver on time. I have worked on projects where everybody on the team left except 1 or 2 guy (including me) because they were completly burned-out. Many pretend to leave because they can earn more in other companies but i am not convinced that's the only reason.

Pros

Laidback environment depending which project / manager you’re under. Lots of flexibility. Great entry level role but once you’re a senior it’s hard to move up, request increases etc

Cons

Very slow growth, way underpaid for the industry and work you’re doing, not much autonomy for the type of work you can do, I was a senior on paper but didn’t feel like it since I was always thrown on random projects and don’t have a niche skill set or expertise in a certain area
