Pros

My colleagues are really great to work with. Interesting range of jobs and clients.

Cons

I have struggled with being the only one from my discipline and division in my office. For a long while, I haven't had a senior engineer in my office to mentor me, and it is definitely beginning to affect me, especially since I am not junior anymore but also not senior.
