Pros

Exposure to interesting projects and clients.

Cons

Workplace culture is heavily production-based, prioritizing output over employee well-being or quality. Toxic leadership style at both the principal and line-manager levels. Managers micromanage every step and often wait for mistakes just to point them out.
