Pros

They pay slightly better than big 4 consultancies - only way they can attract people.

Cons

Street corner shop mentality! e.g. they have very short notice period compared to the industry (30 days), so it is easy to get ride of people if need be, however, they inlcude a barage of legal non-compete clauses in the contract that makes it pretty much impossible to quit without their permission (if you are on a project and they are making money out of you, of course). Non of it would be valid in a legal disput, but they do try to presure you to quit on their own terms. Bigger companies just use 3 month notice periods to avoid the embarecement of having to explain the client why a resource is leaving on such a short notice, with an obvious hit on the project delivery. The office is pretty bad as well.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
