Pros

Huge amount of training opportunities in the latest and greatest and travel (if you like that kind of thing),

Cons

Sometimes you can feel like a bit of a lone wolf during your first couple of months while engaged in self-onboarding, but once you ramp up and start working it is a blast to work with different companies solving different business problems.
