Pros

Decent pay and interesting projects

Cons

Little supervision or management of staff - very reactive rather than proactive. No one reads or reviews lessons learned, so it's all about the team that you're on, even if a similar project was done somewhere else by the company. Lots of standardized procedures... but they are completely ignored by staff and not upheld by management. Lots of reinventing the wheel. Hours are pretty rough, and subject to change at no notice.
