Pros

Great company culture; very relaxed, great co-workers, work from home, and you get to pick most of the hours. Additionally, since you're working as a consultant you get to learn a bunch of different stuff so you wont get bored. The pay is really what you make of it. Since it's a commission based model, if you're very dedicated you can make quite a bit of money. If you take the casual route like I did you still make a really comfortable salary. Despite working on my own for most of the time, if I ran into any trouble you could just find out if anyone on the team knows the technology you're working with to ask for some help, or even send out a mass email to the team. You're essentially working as a contractor without the hassle of finding clients or dealing with legal stuff. It's good experience if you're coming out of college like I did. You get a taste of what it's like to work with a smallish software company mixed with a corporate atmosphere which comes with the clients.

Cons

In my experience, I didn't really have much leadership; however, I thrive in those kind of environments. If you need someone guiding you a lot you might not be able to handle it. Everything I learned was essentially learned on my own(however, there are tons of experts on the team and you can always ask for help).
