Pros

It is possible to work remotely.

Cons

I would describe this company as a space with its own internal resources for searching for a project and/or position to work for the Customer/Client. So when you join a company, it's not something you might think about. You will be plunged into an endless cycle of interviews, job searches, etc. What's funny is that if you were hired as a senior developer, for example in the Java field, then you will still be interviewed again and again, just to evaluate you, are you a senior developer (even if your last rating was a month ago) Creating a career above a key developer or team leader is difficult or almost impossible, personal relationships are necessary. However, even becoming a highly skilled specialist ina field is difficult because the duration of projects is very short and you will have to move on to other projects very often, even if it does not correspond to your career growth. Because it is more important for the company not to keep an employee unassigned to the client projects for more than 3 months. So if you don't get assigned to a client project, you'll just get fired, and if you don't want to get fired, you'll have to do something just to get assigned to a project, but if you can of course. To get an interview with a client, you will need to go through an internal interviews loop, which in most cases looks like a lottery since it is conducted by non-professionals and in some cases not even experts in the field.

Pros

Opportunity for international relocation: The company does offer a chance for employees to experience living in a different country, which could be an appealing aspect for some.

Cons

Inadequate planning: The company seems to lack foresight in its project planning. This results in an unstable work environment and possible sudden layoffs, as experienced in my case. Low job security: As a project-based company, there's a significant risk involved if there aren't any projects lined up. If you're not assigned a project for more than a month, your job might be in jeopardy. Unpredictable layoffs: The company tends to lay off employees without a fair warning, creating an environment of fear and uncertainty.
