Pros: You can choose to be as technical or nontechnical, as intense or chill, as rigorous or speedy as you want it to be. With some political know-how, the entire landscape becomes yours to navigate, and you can simply pick and choose what skills you want to grow.
Cons: You can get put into some really, really, really bad teams, and in that case, your technical skills will atrophy beyond recognition.

Pros: Really fast, a lot of new things starting and a great opportunity to learn a lot. You can learn and have exposure to different parts of the software and customer interaction as a forward-deployed engineer, which is very unique.
Cons: As a forward-deployed engineer, you usually don't get to learn anything very deeply, other than customer interaction. You are more of a jack of all trades, master of none kind of guy.
