Pros
  1. You get exposed to big projects and gain a lot of experience quickly.
  2. Work-life balance is reasonable.
  3. Sometimes you will have a good team.
Cons
  1. Promotion and salary hikes are pretty old-school; many approvals are required.

  2. What you do is based on what project you work on, with not too much freedom to choose projects.

  3. There's no stable team. Most teams are constructed in a way that you don’t know who you’re going to work with. That can be a disaster when you put the wrong people in the wrong positions.

Advice to Management

Spend more time to keep your mid-level employees as assets. Choose the right person for the right position.
