Pros
Opportunity to work in many industries and with different technology Interesting clients
Cons
Poor organisation - people working at cross-purposes, time and power often wasted repeating the same task needlessly No feedback - don't expect to be told when there is an issue Poor leadership and management - making technical people managers doesn't work Work/life balance can be iffy - some staff are seriously overworked, sometimes without pay for overtime, and staff/skill shortages mean it is very hard to get vacation time Little opportunity for career advancement if you stay, but the experience will be valuable if you move somewhere else
