Pros

-An amazing group of people to work with, many of whom have been there for 20 or 30 years! -The design work was interesting, challenging, and fast moving with excellent support.

Cons

-Upper management struggled with direction, expected unreasonable timelines, and didn't seem to learn from missteps -Key knowledge that the organization learn over the years was not documented, which lead to reinvention of "the wheel" many times

Pros

Fantastically little manager oversight. I hate being micromanaged. Give me some direction and let me work. In this way, it is great. I contract through a staffing agency, who I also never talk to. A dream. Pay is good. Expectations are low (which could be a con for some).

Cons

There is really no manager guidance, and hardly any feedback. Managers aren't allowed to meet regularly with contractors. Very hierarchical. Super slow task initiation. SUPER slow implementation. Like a six-month to one-year dev backlog. Not a good fit if you're hungry and a change-agent and live to make work processes better. Did I say slow? I meant glacial. And tribal/political. And scrumfall dysfunction. Other than that, it's great.
