Pros

None. They have a monopoly on the contract roles at companies, so you can get your foot in the door through them. Buy they offer nothing more than the legal minimum in terms of benefits.

Cons

Worst corporate comms I've encountered. Cut pay by 20% to all consultants at Apple with no heads up and no negotiations. Simultaneously, they moved everyone from day rate to an hourly rate. Magnit makes no effort to show appreciation for their consultants or build relationships with them. When I tried to negotiate my new contract, they said "shut up and sign" in more words.

Pros

Ability to work with FAANG company with opportunity for transition to FTE. Very responsive team to any questions.

Cons

Contract work, so role may or may not be renewed depending on company needs. Not really a con, just the nature of the job. Very few PTO days.

Pros

They pay you regularly - that is about it

Cons

They are only interested in their own bottom line and explained nothing to me when I was brought in by their client for a contract but needed to be paid and actually employed via Magnit. They employed me as a W2 and I didn't realize it was an option to go in as a contract 1099 - which would have increase my net significantly, since I have an LLC set up and have been doing taxes as self employed for several years. They didn't let me know that I should be on benefits and sent me no paperwork to enroll. The amount of money they saved from me not collecting benefits is terrible along with what I was paying for healthcare etc. I have to leave the client early because of the issues with Magnit even though they would like me to stay for an additional year.
