Pros

Hours/Flexi time, if you can find a nice niche you can rake in a load of taxpayers' money for no discernible work/output.

Cons

No engineering, management uninterested, contractors employed for 10+ years, permanent staff lasting 4, outdated work ethic at all levels, regularly get to use my postgraduate engineering skills fixing a Word formatting issue.
