Pros

The work is varied and allows you enough time to perfect software techniques that will be useful when you move on to a better job. Some of the people you'll work with can think and are open to suggestions for product improvement. The cafe, although somewhat pricey and not open much beyond lunchtime, provides delicious food.

Cons

The company promotes fear of job loss if you don't adhere to their stringent, random, and ever-changing rules. Working there is akin to attending a strict, 1940s elementary school. If you are simply adequate at your job and don't question anything, you'll fit right into the overall mediocrity of the place.

Pros

— Legitimate portfolio work: the role involved a full website overhaul and product PDP writing, which has real value on a CV — The company name carries weight and looks good on paper

Cons

Pay was consistently late — sometimes by three weeks. No explanation, no heads up, no acknowledgment of the stress this creates for contractors who don't have the luxury of waiting indefinitely for money they've already earned. On the day-to-day side: we were required to produce detailed logs of everything we did — long, tedious activity lists that served no clear purpose and ate into actual work time. The broader culture was captured perfectly in a phrase that came up regularly in stakeholder meetings: "I won't fall on my sword" or "I won't die on that hill" — or some variation of it. Upper management had a consistent habit of deflecting accountability downward onto contract workers, who had the least power and the least protection. When things went wrong, contractors were the convenient explanation. When things went right, that credit traveled elsewhere. If you're considering a contract role here, get your payment schedule in writing and ask very specific questions about how your manager operates. What's described as a flexible, collaborative environment may look quite different once you're in it.
