      Absolutely dreadful, unprofessional team/org ymmv with other orgs

      Software engineering technical leader
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company seems to be embracing new tech. Fair pay.

      Cons

      Contractors on some teams are treated with an enormous amount of disrespect by "blue badge" employees. I was one of these "blue badge" employees and hated seeing the contractors I worked with treated badly--think rude language, lack of respect for working hours/time off, etc. The interviewers also lied to me by omission during the interview process; the team I interviewed to join was disbanded as soon as I joined and the work/colleagues changed as a result. Absolutely unprofessional.
