Pros

Ability to work on cool projects, lots of flexibility of work hours and ability to choose projects among those available. Great culture and work life balance.

Cons

Management is very poor at mating contractors to job opportunities. As a result, jobs are largely available to those who are well connected rather than those best suited in skills. It is an information availability or management problem, not really bias. Sure, this is how the world works, however it is frustrating when this is institutional practice.
