Pros

Nothing, well it sounds good initially

Cons

They make you sign a contract 2 months in advance for a ephemeral project then go on Holiday. When you contract starts you are notified they didn't place you on any project and you will be let go.

Good work, low pay

Software developer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good projects with good clients, can upskill yourself, great starting role

Cons

The pay is the elephant in the room, you will get more money very quickly in almost any other job very quickly once you outgrow the role. Your appraisal increases will be very small even if you had a perfect review with little to no room for negotiation. You should know what you're getting yourself into and you will be fine
