Pros

On the surface, the benefits, work-life balance and types of projects look incredible.

Cons

You are not treated as a unique person. Everyone on the team I worked in had different backgrounds, interests and knowledge. None were allowed to use them. You are told to do whatever, usually admin levels of stuff, when senior people carry on doing the more interesting stuff, but they have to come ask you anyway as they have no clue what to do. It's just a production line where they only way to climb the ladder is to brown nose the right people, hard work is not recognised or rewarded.

Pros

great supervisor, lots of professional development opportunities

Cons

insane workload and expect you to be available for work 24/7. some teams are drowning and others have no resourcing. layoffs happen completely randomly and they lay off people who are 100 percent billable. profit share is bs and you get nothing as a junior member
