Pros

Laid back attitude, you could wear jeans.

Cons

They would rather give up great workers than pay anyone a cutting edge salary. They hire contract workers to get out of paying benefits. If you are offered a full time position they offer less than you make as contract, stating that the benefits make up for the cash. Don't believe a word they say. They'll string you along for years with delusions that you will become full time. Sometimes it takes more than 5 years. Absolutely ridiculous

Pros

I worked on the Content Creation team which is primarily made up of contract employees. Work is remote, but plenty of opportunities to get together in office and meet other people and socialize afterwards. Everyone on the team is great to work with, there are efficient systems in place and it is a well-oiled machine! I've done two contract rounds with them and am looking forward to my next one.

Cons

No opportunities to convert from contract to staff. There are a lot of things that aren't available to contract employees that are only available to staff (certain meetings, resources, etc). Contract employees are limited to 18 months, and then are required to take a year off.

Pros

Some very nice people; had good benefits although those are being cut back because of financial uncertainty

Cons

Fading industry, frequent layoff cycles with hints of more to come, the company is trying to innovate but some divisions are slow to modernize other than throwing around silly talking points at meetings.
