Pros

Some interesting work when you can find it. Fair pay with work/life balance. Bringing new tech to huge companies with antiquated tech stacks.

Cons

A lot of pressure to get onto billable projects and limited support to help get you staffed. Must rely on networking, luck, and projects being desperate for help. Big culture of - get billable, help sell, or you're going to get cut.
