Pros

1. Tuition/Certification reimbursement. This is a huge and very nice benefit to full time employees, but keep in mind it is discretionary and can be suspended in times of company hardship. 2. HR interactions were all fine without issues except for on the SCA side of things. 3. Pays well for contract roles despite other drawbacks 4. Mandatory training is quick and not overly drawn out 5. Company culture as a whole is good, if a bit generic 6. Fully pays for any business travel you may need to take part in, good reimbursement process there.

Cons

1. SCA contract 'benefits' are rough and not explained well at all. Effectively you have the option of taking extra money or taking advantage of benefits. This means any employer 'contributions' are taken out of the SCA pay. 2. SCA contract roles are also not stable. I myself was laid off after several years of purges as my contract is getting dissolved bit by bit. I don't blame the company for this but keep this in mind if you will be working on contracts, even full timers are not safe. 3. I'm not sure if this is company wide or not, but the timekeeping system could almost not possibly be worse. 4. Moving into other internal positions or roles is largely condensed into applying and praying. I never received any feedback whatsoever, including when reaching out to hiring managers for said positions. While positions local to you may be obtainable, applying for remote positions is equivalent to throwing a needle into a haystack even as a current employee.
