Pros

- competitive package and benefits - flexible working hours - warm culture, alot of people are nice to talk to.

Cons

- not stable role. If you are assigned to a client, better to always keep your cv updated to explore opportunities. - no career growth. If you have promotion, congrats. You are just doing the same thing with new title - always saying yes to client without considering the team members working with highly and overloaded tasks results to burnout and work fatigue - increase? Haha. Forget it. They don't do that here. - HR are verryyy pro employer. Be careful. - a big company but low budget in sourcing tools.
