Pros

Many different projects and opportunities to move around.

Many experts in different areas, from whom help is often given freely.

Flexible work hours.

Cons

Ratings/reviews seem to make it necessary to compete with co-workers, with emphasis on visibility to management.

The trend seems to be moving jobs overseas, reducing the US workforce. Cuts are often across the board, so many very good employees are being let go.

Most projects end up being teams in multiple locations around the world, making collaboration difficult to match up work schedules.

Advice to Management

Pay more attention to the collaboration of employees, and not just "leadership by presentations."
