Cons: Project Roulette and Bench Time:
While the diversity of projects is a pro, the flip side is that project assignments can sometimes feel arbitrary, and securing a desired role can be challenging.
There can also be periods of "bench time" (between projects) which, while offering training opportunities, can also lead to uncertainty or pressure to quickly find a new assignment. The quality and relevance of internal projects when on the bench can also vary widely.
