Pros
You definitely gain experience doing many different things as you will wear many different hats. The benefits were great when I started, and still decent when I left.
Cons
#1 rule seems to be "keep the client happy at all costs" which yields unrealistic expectations both externally and internally. A government contractor with government contractor salaries Management team is not good at managing...anything Long hours; too many responsibilities; little appreciation; Owner involvement is chaotic and kills productivity Software development with unrealistic deadlines and (typically) non-negotiable requirements. New responsibilities (promotions) do not come with additional compensation
