Pros

Support for professional development, opportunities to advance within or between client teams, traveling for work, good work/life balance with hybrid work schedule (only 2 days in office per week, typically)

Cons

Inconsistent policies and work cultures between client teams - each client team is its own mini organization, so people's work experience can vary significantly by the team they are on. Health insurance is on a calendar year while other benefits (like FSA/HSA) are on more of a fiscal year, which unnecessarily causes extra out-of-pocket healthcare expenses between Jan-June.
