Pros

Good exposure Can have work and life balance Can work from home Results based work; nice teammates

Cons

Unclear career path and no development plan No recognition on work. Unclear what the weights are for in the performance review. Unclear what's the effect of the performance review. Sometimes it feels like it doesn't matter if you try your best or just do averagely. There's no rewards scheme as well in case you did well. Depends on the manager but I did experience one where I was always wrong based on his/her perspective (no matter what and even if the actual end client had no issues, for that person, I was still wrong or that the work is never good enough) - It's been like this until that manager has been replaced. This is truly discouraging! Low pay (at least from my end), low increment in salary Does not sponsor on any learning resources (e.g. attend seminars or workshop..I mean, it's also for the benefit of the company) Does not have any regular training to update the skills. There's one more con based on personal experience but I can't say here.
