Pros

I have great coworkers and the work schedule flexibility is the best I’ve ever encountered. Weekly WFH is available to many positions.

Cons

You’re kinda up in the air as to your future when a long term contract finally reaches completion.

Pros

Most employees are genuinely passionate about their work. It is an environment that I generally enjoy coming to every day. The company has a wide variety of projects and enough internal latitude to usually work with the teams and projects that are of interest. Work-life balance and flexibility is above average for the industry, but on par with modern work place attitudes. Excellent opportunities to develop from a technical stand point.

Cons

Leadership is pretty out of touch and still maintains an air of "you should feel lucky to have a job here". Compensation is subpar, particularly in competitive regions during an economic boom. Managers would rather hire external candidates than promote from within. Generally there is a disconnect between the brand image of success and the touted employee-centric culture. Performance evaluation is often done by people you have never worked with.
