Pros

Working for a great cause Your pay is exempted from tax

Cons

if you get recruited as a consultant, you get ZERO leave days. Whatever leave you take, it will be deducted from your salary. Compared to Fixed term staffs, you have absolutely no benefits (no leave, no relocation allowance, no education grant --> you get absolutely nothing except the money that you get paid for). However, you do the same work and take on the same level of responsibility as a fixed term staff. You are just treated as "cheaper labor".
