Pros

pay is very competitive and flexible work schedule

Cons

observations and experiences have been: 1) lack of enough resourcing as too many projects are accepted at the expense of the employee (for profit of course) work life balance and leadership is sub optimal 2) decentralized company chooses to put people in a study team cross culture time zone with no regard for team cohesiveness or forethought it's just a body in a spot. 3) often times teams are comprised of inexperienced staff members in countries where labor is cheap and ​communication​ is poor. Leadership at study team level does not understand challenges on their projects as they are chosen based on pure availability and ther experience, probably because attrition is an issue
