Pros

Friendly environment, easy to take ownership, encourage to initivates, no "who did that?" question

Cons

Strong separation between contractors and full-time employees. Contractors have limited career growth opportunities, no clear path to permanent employment, and significantly lower compensation compared to equivalent US-based contractors despite similar responsibilities and impact. Working across multiple time zones can also affect work-life balance.
