Pros

Rewarding and fulfilling - put in the time and effort and reap the rewards. Great atmosphere and surrounded by helpful colleagues, very challenging at times.

Cons

Competing against fellow colleagues might not be the best approach for promotion (especially that the bottom 10% will be deemed to be not good enough).
