Pros

- Pay on time - Good projects if you're lucky - Other engineers are always willing to help on company channels

Cons

If you are thinking about leaving your "stable" work to join: DON'T. You will be no more than a tool that they will dispose of as soon as the client ends the contract with you. If they say to you that this doesn't happen and will keep paying you without a project until they find a new one, don't believe it. Try sorting the reviews by most recent and you'll see this type of complaint increased a lot. FSL labs also have a strict salary raise policy, won't be much even if your performance was the best possible. The CTO has a habit of calling people out in the slack channels, saying things like: If it's slow it's not working. It's true Mike, it's not working, but wouldn't it be better to organize a tech talk with the engineers and discuss, share knowledge among the peers about this topic? It would create a team spirit and allow people to connect on a different level. Oh wait, I almost forgot we are not really part of FSL and our only job is to bring money to pay your salary. If you are wondering if they are offering you a low salary (you are probably right), this may help: My current salary as a mid-level engineer in Brasil is 26 dollars/hour + 20 PTOs + 5 Sick days leave - which I can't disclose per my contract (yes, they want you to hide this from your co-workers so people don't find out they are underpaid). It was a long review and in case you already forgot: Do not join if you are already employed.

Pros

They give computer to work.

Cons

Salary is not competitive. Lack of feedback on work Lack of closeness between employee/contract managers Lack of meetings talking about the current state of the company If you are a contractor and the client no longer wants your services, they don't care to find another client for you. they earn a lot of money from your effort. The meetings to join a client are not supported by the FSL, it's you and the customer only on the call (if the customer is not interested in the interview, you're in trouble) Having to keep posting their hours worked. In addition to entering the hours on their platform, you must also enter your hours on the client's platform, this is very bad You have to stay at the company for at least one year, otherwise you have to pay a fee (very high) Difficulty in professional growth There is no solid career plan No additional benefits If you get sick you don't get paid so get well and keep working like a robot

Thank you for your feedback. Please know that 1) we no longer require time entries in Toggl....team members simply enter the number of hours they work each day at the end of the day so that we can correctly pay them for ALL of the time they work. Many of our competitors who pay flat weekly or monthly amounts require extra hours to be worked but don't pay the developers for them. But we want to pay you for all hours worked, hence we ask that contractors bill us for all hours worked. 2) We always try to find new projects for contractors and employees when their current project ends. We are usually successful in doing so, but there are always exceptions. As a contractor, you are running your own small business, which means you get to decide when, where, and how to work. But this also means that you are responsible for your time off.

Pros

- Great opportunities to work with different clients. - You are free to make your time, just need to join the meetings when needed. - You can do extra job inside the company if you want to receive more money outside your client.

Cons

- The company itself doesn't provide benefits, only the hour value, which is good and bad. - The contact with the company outside the client is almost nothing, they could improve by adding some meetings with the leaders, happy hours, end quarters, etc.
