Pros

- constant learning - cutting-edge technologies - big interesting projects

Cons

1) - High professional teams working on new/high-risk projects, which are usually not long-lasting (less than a year), and the pressure is high. - If the engagement team works with the client for several years, it would usually be a team of not high-spec professionals. 2) The promotion process is painful. It is much easier to get an offer than to get a promotion.
