Pros

Good people on the ground Interesting clients Good rates of pay.

Cons

They can view their employees as nothing but resources to keep head count high on a project. They state that you can move internally to other roles you may find interesting but will keep you on each project as long as possible (basically until you threaten to leave and even maybe not then) Certain senior managers don't care about the wellbeing of the people on the ground, only the money they generate. This results in a high turnover of employees. If you haven't received something in writing it didn't happen, even if you have had numerous discussions with management about it. And they are very reluctant to put anything in writing.
