Pros

Very flexible with time off and personal matters. Excellent contract rates. Very independent work environment, little micro-managing. Great, respectful management.

Cons

Transition from contract to permanent position is brutal. Little to no feedback about what to expect regarding contract. Rate is drastically cut from contract to permanent position. Earned bonus program is poorly structured - you actually get paid less as you work more. Will bring you contract at a different title, then bump you down once you "convert" over to permanent.

Pros

Hybrid work model, benefits (lots of paid time off, school tuition reimbursement, medical, dental, vision, insurance, etc.), some great people to work with, possibility to contribute to high level work

Cons

Understaffed, hiring freezes, working with client services who treat you as if you’re lesser than them, untrained managers, no career trajectory, working with incompetent individuals who can’t get fired, takes a long time to make changes/complete projects, unrealistic expectations, corporate politics
