Pros

Gain some experience. Gives people chances who don't have any experience

Cons

Low pay, career graveyard. Need to rely on learning and staying sharp outside company. Can get stuck and no growth. No promotions and no work life balance.

Pros

Company stability, solid benefit package, good PTO (including 4 x summer bonus days every year).

Cons

Can restructure within a team at any time. Not many remote roles available, so somewhat limited career path options unless you want to relocate adjacent to one of the offices.
