Pros

Long track record of projects, Lots of people from industry with detail knowledge, Smaller size of firm gives you the ability to work on a range of activities

Cons

Very poor leadership, very limited training, very poor (almost non existent) project pipeline. Limited value as an employee above being a contractor. Lots of project where you are just sent in as an additional person do do stuff, management seem uninterested in what your doing day to day. Lots of talk about innovation but in reality none of this changes most peoples day jobs of getting sent off on projects to do stuff.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
