      Pros

      Autonomy. I am able to form my own atmosphere based on teh programs I am involved in. Creates very little stress. Company, though not near my working location, is in touch often enough to remain involved in the inner-workings of the company.

      Cons

      As a contract position, not much room for advancement. Having that status limits a person to the confines of the job description and salary you agreed to when hired. But, you understand that when hired, also. Additionally, exempt employees still have to account for hours and overtime is not authorized. So it is 80 and out for your two week period even if you still have lots to do.

      If you know the ground rules of the corporate game and can live with them you could be happy.

      Pros

      Opportunities to work on a wide range of different projects and expand your knowledge. The likelihood of working with decent people in the rank and file is high.

      Cons

      No corporate committment (or desire) to make accomodations to minimize the impact of the well-established cyclical nature of the business on employees. It is unreasonable to have expectations of coverage for long down cycles, but shorter duration ones are treated the same. Hit the road to another office (through your own networking) and avoid OH at all costs when things looks slow. Near zero support for professional development (seminars, classes, etc) - unless you want to pay for it.
