Pros

Opportunities to move around, atmosphere is fairly relaxed and people generally easy to work with. Pay is competitive.

Cons

Very little job security; is based on the amount of projects going on at a given time. Mounting pressure to produce more with less people, often to the detriment of a project. Benefits are bare minimum and expensive.

Pros

great potential and opportunities to learn and evolve

Cons

Team manager is a dodgy person. Ask people to work continuously over the weekends. Also refused to book actual time spent on the task. He told us you have to invest the time to learn and evolve.
