Pros

Even though it might be a somewhat bureaucratic organisation, Student Assistant have a rather high level of autonomy. It is a supportive and educating environment for students.

Cons

You have to be aware of the bureaucracy when carrying out project. If you are not use to it, it might be a bit overwhelming - it was for me at least.
