Pros

Exposure to a wide range of projects is possible when you are willing to travel and relocate. There are multiple opportunities to network with many experts in your field as colleagues. Opportunities for training while working on large projects. Work Schedule allows a half-day on Friday (most locations)

Cons

Business environment is very cyclical for certain industries. Risk of layoff if projects are slow coming in the door. Willingness to relocate is a requirement as one advances in the company.
