Pros

Get to work on really big projects that lots of people will use.

Interesting technology uses.

Lots of room to grow with the company if you are willing to stick with it.

Will send you to conferences.

Cons

Management focuses on finishing the project more than balancing workload.

Working as a service provider means you will have to travel potentially for months at a time. Not a problem for everyone, but definitely a challenge for family-focused people.

It's hard to get good equipment and keep it maintained.

Compared to the contract market, developers could be paid more, especially when you're on a team that is 90% contractors.

Advice to Management

Be willing to spend more on your people and let them take breaks from their projects. This will stop burnout.
