Pros
Variety in work. Some projects are interesting
Cons
Let’s start with how they traumatize you by counting every minute you are working on a project. I had project managers argue with me about over-billing a project by an hour or two. You need to bill 36/40 hours to projects in order to stay billable and you don’t get any help in finding long term projects - you need to work on whatever they give you and if project managers choose to give you work, you need to bill downwards as much as possible or else you will straight up get bullied. I’ve been called names, got yelled at in public and dealt with a whole range of the most unprofessional, nasty behavior I’ve ever come across in my entire professional career. When I would bring this up to my manager, I wouldn’t get much support, mostly radio silence and lip service with him cherry-picking small mistakes I had made to perhaps defend the nasty project managers. When I had requested to have him settle a dispute between me and a project manager, he would always reply with one liner emails along the lines of: “I don’t have time for this now” I seemed to be one of very few people in their late 20s with most of the company being between 38-60.
