Pros

The pay is good and there's always the opportunity to try something new. People are easy to work with for the most part.

Cons

it's very difficult to get a decision made. Typically if the project is 9 months, 6 of those is in forming the scope of the effort. Then you have to scramble like mad to do 9 months of work in 3. Of course there are problems and then it's your fault.
