Pros

Good opportunities if you are willing to take on the responsibility. Good people to work with in a professional work environment. Lots of good clients that you will collaborate with on important projects.

Cons

You need to understand that relationships are a critical factor in your success. Some managers are not that experienced or interested in people management; there tends to be more recognition for billable work than people managment

Pros

Remote flexibility, which is nice.

Cons

You will not get a raise and if you do, it'll be 1%. Managers will not help you with escalating issues, you're on your own. It'll be blamed on you. You'll work so much overtime you won't have a social life.
