Pros

Pleasant environment, very smart co-workers that treat each other with respect. Nice office in a great location. Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Priorities change at the drop of a hat and are sometimes unclear, which can be frustrating. Fast pace can get overwhelming when it seems like there's not a light at the end of the tunnel.

Worked like employee, paid as contractor

Pros

Brand recognition good for resume Work remotely for some positions

Cons

Classifies workers as Contractors rather than employees to avoid paying taxes or benefits. Contractors required to work certain times/shifts as an employee but not treated as one Paychecks are irregular, never know when they will arrive even with DD, and when they are weeks late Contractors are told they need to "budget" rather than fixing the issue of nonpayment Higher positions are never hired "within", they don't even alert current workers to opportunities, but simply hire out, leaving no room for advancement Managers do not utilize workers skills/talents efficiently, rather treated as bean counter Communication between multiple (unnecessary amount of) managers to staff is convoluted. Not uncommon for several emails within minutes to change plans, clear up communication, etc. Hire new contractors for higher pay than long time (8yr) veterans in same position. Took 3 months for a pay raise to equal, but nothing more for seniority pay.
